The following changes to the API will be effective on the date specified. The review carefully for any potentially breaking changes. Please see What’s New for new features.
For enhanced security, we will prevent Profile Keys from being used as API Keys. If you attempt to use a Profile Key in place of the API Key, the system will return an error. See here on how to properly use a Profile Key.
We’ve updated how errors for TikTok scheduled webhooks are reported. These errors will now appear in the errors array, consistent with our error handling for other scheduled webhook types. Note, the current top-level errors will still be returned, but we encourage use of the errors array.
