APIs are only as good as the data they return and keeping them reliable means constantly adapting to changes on the web. Over the past two weeks, we resolved multiple scraper disruptions, restored broken APIs, and shipped a meaningful data enhancement. Here is a quick rundown of everything that happened and why it matters to you.

X (Twitter) Profile Scraper - Restored 

The X Profile Scraper API ran into errors after X made structural changes to its profile pages. Our team identified the breaking changes, updated the scraper logic to match the new page layout, and fully restored the API. The API is now stable and ready for production-scale usage.

TikTok Ads Scraper - Restored 

TikTok updated the HTML structure of its ads pages, which caused the TikTok Ads Scraper API to return errors. We updated our scraper to support the new structure and restored consistent, reliable operation. The API is back and ready for consistent, production-scale usage.

Amazon Offers Scraper - Fully Fixed 

Some ASINs were returning incomplete offer data due to changes in Amazon's data extraction layer. We resolved the underlying issue and improved the scraper logic to ensure complete coverage. The API now returns complete offer data reliably across all affected ASINs and is production-ready.

Google AI Overview API - Restored After Session Tracking Changes 

Google introduced new session tracking mechanisms that disrupted response retrieval in the Google AI Overview API. This was one of the trickier fixes: session tracking affects how requests are processed end-to-end. We updated and optimised our handling logic to adapt to these changes. The API is working reliably again and is ready for production workloads.

Google Flight API - Reliability Restored

A subset of users were receiving unusual or inconsistent responses from the Google Flight API. Changes in response handling and extraction reliability were causing unpredictable behaviour. We implemented fixes and improved request processing to ensure consistent results across all affected cases. The Google Flight API is fully reliable again for production workloads.

Google AI Overview and AI Mode API - References Restored 

Google made updates to its HTML structure that caused both the Google AI Overview API and the Google AI Mode API to stop returning references and citation data. References are critical for downstream experiences without them, responses were incomplete and harder to verify. We updated our extraction logic to adapt to the new structure. Reference extraction is now functioning correctly, and you can retrieve complete data including references and supporting sources as expected.

New Enhancement 

Google Search API - Richer DMCA Data 

Not every update this week was a fix, this one is a genuine improvement. The DMCA data point in the Google Search API has been upgraded to return more complete and structured information. Previously, DMCA data was fairly limited. Now, responses include:

• Detailed DMCA-related link data

• Associated link text for each DMCA reference

• Richer metadata to power more informative downstream experiences

If you are building tools that track content removals or need to surface DMCA context to end users, this enhancement makes it significantly easier. The upgrade is available across all supported responses right now.

Here is a video tutorial about our weekly updates
