  • New API Parameters for Enhanced Control: We’ve added two powerful new parameters to give you more control over your API requests:

    maxSpeed Parameter (Fetch Brand endpoint only):

    • Optional boolean parameter that optimizes API calls for maximum speed
    • When set to true, the API skips time-consuming operations for faster response
    • Perfect for use cases where speed is prioritized over comprehensive data collection
    • Trade-off: Faster response times at the cost of less detailed information

    timeoutMS Parameter (All endpoints):

    • Optional timeout control in milliseconds for all API requests
    • Set custom timeout values from 1ms up to 300,000ms (5 minutes maximum)
