We have begun a two-step migration in the /match API response format that affects users relying on the features and matcher fields.
The
matcherfield in/matchresponses will be removed after February 27, 2026. Equivalent information is available via the/algorithmsroute (free to use).A new
explanationsfield has been added that is a strict superset offeatures. In addition to the partial scores produced by each component of the matching system, it includes textual descriptions of the matching decisions from each of these subsystems. These descriptions are designed for display in analyst workbenches or can be passed to generative AI tools to help interpret screening alerts. Thefeaturesfield will be removed after February 27, 2026. Users should update their applications to consumeexplanationsbefore this date.
