Changelog | Public

2026

Stay up to speed with our latest developer platform releases, portal updates, and ecosystem improvements. From major MCP and SDK enhancements to core API changes, we've got your integrations covered.

Throughout this year we significantly expanded the documented API surface — adding full coverage for Brand Guidelines (CXUC), new Metaproperties and Options management endpoints, Automation endpoints, and extended analytics tracking. We also resolved a number of long-standing accuracy issues across upload, OAuth and webhook documentation.

November 2026

New Bynder developer portal

The Bynder developer portal has a new home, with a redesigned API reference, guides and tooling in one place.

Redesigned API reference built on OpenAPI 3.1 specifications, grouped by product
Authentication: OAuth 2.0 with authorization_code, client_credentials and refresh_token grants
SDK support: PHP, Python, JavaScript, Java and C#
AI tooling: the Bynder MCP connects AI assistants to your assets and brand guidelines

October 2026

API

Added the AI Agents API, now generally available. Create and manage agents, run executions, and accept, discard, edit, revert or cancel enrichment results.
Released the Asset API. The beta label is removed and the API is now version 1.0.0.
Updated pagination on the Asset Management API: page * limit must be 100,000 or less. Larger requests return 400 with RESULT_WINDOW_TOO_LARGE. Use cursor (start with *) to read beyond that limit.
Updated the Upload API to document that asset and import IDs use Bynder's 32-character 8-4-4-16 GUID format.

MCP

Added a rate limits section to the Bynder MCP page.
Updated the Bynder MCP scopes section. Each tool now lists the OAuth scopes and the user permission it requires.

Universal Compact View

Updated the Universal Compact View page. Added version history through 6.0.2, including the new CloudFront distribution for version 6 and the fix for the 50 asset selection limit, and documented the Compact View parameters, container mode and asset field selection.

September 2026

API

Updated Create Metaproperty Option to document that when name and label differ, Bynder automatically assigns name as the externalReference. Setting externalReference to null or an empty string will not prevent this.

MCP

Added the Bynder MCP documentation. Connect AI assistants to your Bynder portal to search assets and brand guidelines.

August 2026

API

Added POST /api/1/asset/assets/{assetId}/relations/{relationId} and DELETE /api/1/asset/assets/{assetId}/relations/{relationId} to the Asset API for managing asset relations, now documented under Asset enrichment.
Added instructions for adding and removing custom thumbnails via customThumbnailFileId and removeCustomThumbnail to Modify Asset.
Updated Modify MP Options to clarify that options are appended to the asset's existing option set, not replaced.
Removed the checkForDuplicates query parameter from Create Option — this parameter is no longer supported.
Removed the non-functional "Retrieve Webhook Configuration" endpoint from the Webhooks section.
Corrected the chunk upload S3 endpoint URL in Upload File in Chunks — the endpoint is https://bynder-public-us-east-1.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/ and does not include your portal domain.

July 2026

API

Added the full API reference for the Brand Guidelines (CXUC) API (/api/1/cxuc/), covering guidelines, groups, pages and sections.
Added new analytics endpoints to Asset Usage V2: Asset Downloads, Asset Removes, Asset Archives, Asset Deletions, User Logins and User Creations.
Added missing parameters to Register Upload Chunk.
Updated the Public Groups API documentation.
Corrected Upload Asset Step 3B — upload_id must be passed as a form field named id, not as a path segment in the URL.
Corrected brandId in Save as New Asset — this is a required field, not optional.

June 2026

API

Added documentation for the Brand Guidelines Public Read Only endpoint.

May 2026

API

Added five Metaproperties management endpoints: list, read, create, update and delete.
Added three Options management endpoints: create, update and delete.
Added five new Automation endpoints.
Updated the Automation Workflow API documentation.
Updated Modern Stack Upload to include OAuth and client credentials usage.
Removed the metaproperty field from the Options API v1 response — this field is no longer returned.
Fixed an incorrect POST URL in the Workflow Upload documentation.

April 2026

API

Corrected Create Webhook Subscription — the endpoint path should not include /{id}. The correct path is https://{your-bynder-domain}/v7/webhooks/public/api/subscriptions.

MCP

Added the ReadMe MCP integration, so you can use the Bynder API reference with AI coding assistants directly from your IDE.

March 2026

API

Added the GET /api/v4/brands/ endpoint for retrieving Brand IDs.
Corrected the OAuth token endpoint URLs in the Authentication section — the base path is https://{your-bynder-domain}/v6/authentication/oauth2/token/....

January 2026

API

Added content access rights endpoints: GET/POST /api/content-access/options/{optionId} and GET/PUT /api/content-access/options/{optionId}/visibility.
Added guidance on UUID formats — newer API endpoints require UUID v4.

2025

Throughout this year we focused on tightening our API workflows and expanding the depth of our asset management tools. We rolled out significant upgrades to the Analytics module — including Collection Views V2 and a more robust Asset Usage tracking system — while cleaning up legacy V1 endpoints for a more streamlined integration experience. From adaptive video streaming and custom thumbnail controls to refinements in how metadata such as fileName is retrieved, these updates give you more granular control over your media assets and their performance data.

July 2025

Workflow job status restrictions

Changed the list of possible statuses that can be used on activeStage in the Modify job endpoint — the set is now restricted.

May 2025

Custom thumbnails and adaptive video streaming

Added support for adding and removing custom thumbnails via customThumbnailFileId and removeCustomThumbnail in Modify Asset.
Added a new endpoint for Adaptive Video Streaming.

Added the Collection Views V2 section to the Analytics module, plus a deprecation notice on V1.
Added the Search for similar assets endpoint.

Derivative presets, account additionals and Asset Creations V2

Added two endpoints to list and get derivative presets and account additionals.
Added the additionalId property to the mediaitems response in Retrieve assets and Retrieve specific asset.
Added Asset Creations V2 to the Asset Usage V2 section of the Analytics module.
Changed the name of the retrieve derivative presets endpoint.
