What’s new?
This month, we are adding four new fields to the Location Details field bundle that we released last month for our Company Dataset:
| FIELD NAME | FIELD TYPE | FIELD BUNDLE | FIELD DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| locations.first_seen | Object | Location Details | The date that this location was first observed in association with the company record. |
| locations.last_seen | String | Location Details | The date that this location was last observed in association with the company record. |
| locations.is_active | Boolean | Location Details | Denotes whether this location was active (“true”) or inactive (“false”) as of the last observation. |
| num_active_locations | Integer > 0 | Location Details | Count of all active locations associated with the company record. |
Why it matters
These new fields offer richer context on company locations:
- Track history - See when a location was first and last active.
- Spot activity changes - Quickly determine if a location is still operational.
- Get a clear count -
num_active_locationscomplementsnum_total_locations(from v31.0) to show active vs. total historical locations.
Together, these insights make it easier to understand a company’s physical footprint and operational changes over time.
Availability
The Location Details bundle remains in Beta until v32.0 (October), when it will move to General Availability.
Pricing & Packaging
- Existing customers with the Location Details bundle automatically get these new fields.
- New customers can purchase the bundle now at incentivized Beta pricing.

Upcoming Breaking Changes
Upcoming breaking changes may impact your current processes. We are announcing them here to provide ample time for you to adjust your processes accordingly.
Deprecation Date: November 2025 (v32.1)
Impacted Product: API Dashboard
| Tools Being Removed |
|---|
| Query Builder Tool API Explorer Tool |
In November 2025, we will be deprecating several legacy tools in our API Dashboard and public documentation in favor of our new API Playground going live this month.
Why we're making this change
The legacy tools created a fragmented experience and required manual query building, especially for non-technical users. Further, the Query Builder had limitations and a lack of parity with our APIs that created confusion.
The new API Playground
- Replaces the functionality of the API Explorer Tool without having to leave the API Dashboard
- Lets you build requests and view live data directly in your dashboard
Timeline
- ✅ July 2025: API Playground available in your API Dashboard
- 👉 July–November 2025: Legacy tools and API Playground both available
- November 2025: Legacy tools fully removed.
Action You Need to Take
- Start using the API Playground now to prepare for the upcoming deprecations
- Recreate any queries or workflows you currently run in the Query Builder by writing SQL in the new API Playground
- 💡 Pro tip: Check out the Reference panel by clicking the Reference button for SQL and Elasticsearch examples

- Name Cleaning Improvements
- We improved our name cleaning process to remove extraneous text, such as website URLs, business names, or email characters, that were incorrectly appearing in name fields (e.g.
full_name = "JAMES HTTPS")
- We improved our name cleaning process to remove extraneous text, such as website URLs, business names, or email characters, that were incorrectly appearing in name fields (e.g.
- Name Alias Updates
- We enhanced our name alias matching to recognize similar names, improving record merges and API matching.
- Improved Title Cleaning
- We refined our title cleaning process to preserve text within parentheses.
- For example, “Manager (NYC Area)” and “Manager (Northeast Region)” will now remain separate experiences.
- This fix helps prevent unintended merges in cases where experience records are distinguished by the text within parentheses.
- CCO Title Standardization
- We fixed our job title cleaner so that the title “CCO” is no longer automatically standardized to Chief Creative Officer, since it can also represent Chief Compliance Officer or Chief Customer Officer.
- School Over-Canonicalization
- We resolved an issue from last month’s build where schools were being over-canonicalized to generic names like “Campus” or “Senior High School.”
- We also fixed cases where some school abbreviations were incorrectly canonicalized to similar but unrelated school names.
- Peru Location Cleaning Fix
- We fixed an issue where locations spelled “Perú” with the accent were incorrectly mapped to Peru, Nebraska.
- API Dashboard Batch Enrich Tool error
- Users will no longer experience a perpetual load state when starting a new job on the last step of the Batch Enrich tool
