Product improvements

API

• Decommission of Endpoints 
  Please be informed that decommissioned the following four endpoints in KYC API v2: api/v2/system/countries, api/v2/system/health, api/v2/system/priceList, api/v2/system/catalog.
  This decision comes from the introduction of a new endpoint in KYC API v2, known as api/v2/system/coverage. This new endpoint consolidates the data previously spread across the four mentioned endpoints into a single and more efficiently structured response. See here for more details on the coverage endpoint.

• Improving coverage details endpoint
  Following the launch of the endpoint for available sources, datasets, documents, searches, and concierge products for each jurisdiction last month, we have streamlined the process and incorporated usability enhancements.

• Disabling index dataset in API v2 
  To ensure compliance with legal requirements, we have disabled the index dataset in the following jurisdictions: Hungary HU, Texas US-TX, California US-CA, Spain ES, Finland FI, Gibraltar GI, Jersey JE, Lithuania LT, Malta MT, Slovenia SI, Canada CA.
