Service Additions and Changes
The following additions were implemented to the D&B Direct 2.0 API:
Service | Version | Interface(s) | Change(s) |
---|---|---|---|
ALL | ALL | SOAP/REST | The correct error message now displays when the D-U-N-S Number or Country Code are not provided in the input. |
Custom Product | 2.0, 3.0 | SOAP/REST | Added Country of Incorporation in the response for Custom Products (if the user has configured for it). |
Custom Product | 2.0, 3.0 | SOAP/REST | If the High Risk Indicator value is set to true, then it now displays in the response; otherwise, it does not appear. This is applicable only to UK cases (if the user has configured for it). |
Custom Product | 2.0 | SOAP/REST | The Bankruptcy indicator is now returning the correct flag for Canada. |
Firmographics | 5.3 | SOAP/REST | IssuedShareCapitalAmount (Market Cap) element is added for DCP_PREM. |
Monitoring | 6.0 | SOAP/REST | Changed the current implementation on the conditions, Value Goes Beyond and Value Goes Below, based on the ContinuousChangeNotificationIndicator. This establishes the following features: - If ContinuousChangeNotificationIndicator is set to TRUE (by default), change notices are sent when the new value is less than or greater than the customer threshold. - If ContinuousChangeNotificationIndicator is set to FALSE, change notices are sent only when the new value crosses through the customer threshold range relative to the former value. |
Report Product | 3.2 | SOAP/REST | Added a request parameter for IncludeAttachmentIndicator in OrderCompanyPublicDocument and OrderCountryReport operations. |
