Improved API query validation

jobdataapi.com 4.19 / API version 1.23

0 min read · March 9, 2026

Changelog

List endpoints now validate query parameters and return a clear 400 error when an unknown parameter is provided. This helps catch typos and unsupported filters immediately instead of getting misleading results.

Existing integrations benefit from faster debugging and clearer monitoring signals (bad params won’t be silently ignored), while valid parameters continue to work as before. Single‑object endpoints (by ID) are unchanged.
