# HTTP redirects from data.opensanctions.org

Please check that your configuration supports HTTP status `307` redirects for HTTP requests to `data.opensanctions.org`. Starting in August, the site may redirect users attempting to fetch a specific data export to an updated location.

The canonical location will now be at `/artifacts/<dataset>/<version>/`, where previously a mix of `datasets/latest/<dataset>` and `/datasets/YYYYMMDD/<dataset>` were used.

The goal of this change is provide immutable locations for each data export, helping to more clearly identify versions of the dataset.
