April 2026

New Feature

Credit Notes in the Billing Dashboard

Credit notes issued against your account are now listed alongside invoices in the billing section of the dashboard. Download them for your records without having to ask support.

Bug Fix

Kosovo Country Code Updated to XKX

Kosovo is now represented with the country code XKX across address responses and dataset metadata, replacing the previous placeholder. Use XKX when filtering or matching on country code for Kosovo addresses.

  • Standardised code: XKX is the widely-used user-assigned code for Kosovo, aligning with HERE and other upstream sources
  • Consistent across endpoints: Applies to address search, autocomplete and resolve responses
  • Action required: Update any client-side filters or mappings that targeted the previous code

Improvement

Allowed URLs Checker for API Keys

A new tool in the dashboard lets you test whether a given URL is permitted by an API key's allowed-URLs configuration. Catch misconfigured patterns before they break a production integration.

  • Live check: Paste any URL and see whether it would be accepted by the key
  • Wildcard correctness: Subdomain wildcards now require a dot boundary, so *.example.com no longer accidentally matches evilexample.com
  • Clearer messaging: Improved guidance when a URL is rejected, indicating which rule failed

Improvement

Documentation Search in the Dashboard

A documentation search box now lives in the dashboard header. Find guides, API reference and integration docs without leaving the account UI.

  • Header search: Available on every dashboard page
  • Full docs index: Searches across guides, API reference and integration walkthroughs
  • Integrate panel: A dedicated search panel surfaces relevant integration docs while you configure a key

  • Postal Addressing IDs: Improved handling of HERE Postal Addressing identifiers for Ireland
  • Address point gaps: Filled gaps in HERE Ireland address point coverage

New Feature

Postcode Lookup for Singapore, Ireland and Netherlands

Postcode lookup is now available for Singapore, Ireland (HERE) and the Netherlands. Resolve a postcode to its set of addresses in three more markets without falling back to an autocomplete flow.

  • Singapore: Postcode-to-address resolution across the SGP dataset
  • Ireland: Eircode-style postcode lookups against the HERE Ireland dataset
  • Netherlands: Postcode lookup over Dutch address data

New Feature

Passkey Sign-In for Dashboard Accounts

Sign in to your AddressZen account with a passkey. Use Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello or a hardware security key in place of a password. Phishing-resistant by design and faster on every return visit.

  • Register from settings: Add one or more passkeys to your account from the security settings
  • WebAuthn standard: Works with platform authenticators (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello) and roaming keys (YubiKey and similar)
  • Coexists with passwords: Keep your existing password as a fallback while adopting passkeys at your own pace

Improvement

Richer Metadata on API Key Details

The API key details endpoint now returns the key's name, allowed contexts, enabled datasets, and notification settings, so dashboards and integrations no longer need to combine multiple endpoints to display a key's full configuration.

  • Name: The friendly label assigned to the key
  • Contexts: The allowed referrer or origin restrictions
  • Datasets: The datasets the key is permitted to query
  • Notification settings: Per-key notification preferences for limit and balance events

New FeatureBreaking Change

Organisations and Role-Based Access

Accounts now belong to an organisation. Multiple users can collaborate on the same set of API keys and billing, with role-based permissions controlling what each member can do. Every existing user has been migrated into a single-member organisation automatically.

  • Shared workspace: API keys, purchases, invoices and agreements live under the organisation, not an individual user
  • Roles: Owners, admins and developers see scoped controls in the dashboard
  • Invitations: Add teammates by email and manage pending invitations from the dashboard
  • Billing & invoices: Centralised at the organisation level, with the existing tokens and balance preserved

New Feature

Monthly Limits for API Keys

API keys can now be configured with a monthly request limit, complementing the existing daily limit. Cap spend over a calendar month without having to reason about per-day caps.

  • Monthly cap: Set a maximum number of requests an API key can serve in a calendar month
  • Independent of daily: Use alongside daily limits for tighter control, or on its own
  • Nullable: Leave unset for keys that should not be capped at the monthly level

  • Backwards Compatible: Exact matches continue to work as before
