New API services, richer JSON data, and improved scalability
During the past months we have gradually released new API services and made many improvements in the currently available API services. We have also improved the scalability of some APIs and worked in the dashboard to make it more usable. Below you can find a recap of all the important changes:
#1 Added 12 New API Services
| DNSSEC Status API | Ping Test API | TLS Check API |
| Tor Test API | VPN Test API | Port Scan API |
| HTTP3 Status API | ASN Info API | QR Scan API |
| EML Insights API | Geo Request API | Account Info API |
We have also added Account Info API (can be found on the API docs) that can return details about your account, such as credits remained, when they will next reset, credits usage for the past 30 days and for the past 3 months. It doesn't consume any credit and allows to make up to 1 request per minute.
