To catch up on our latest releases shaping our developer platform, see the link below. [Product updates ↗](https://community.bynder.com/product-updates) ## [2026](#_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)](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/cxuc-1/versions/9a8a4a13-fdd4-455b-8d92-5f16aea67949/operations/getGuidesApi), new [Metaproperties](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/metaproperty-1/versions/e015c0a3-e9ae-46ee-9a70-047f982dcfe9/operations/getApi1TaxonomyMetaproperties) 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](#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](https://developers.bynder.com/mcp) connects AI assistants to your assets and brand guidelines ### [October 2026](#october-2026) #### API - **Added** the [AI Agents API](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/agents), now generally available. Create and manage agents, run executions, and accept, discard, edit, revert or cancel enrichment results. - **Released** the [Asset API](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/asset-api). The beta label is removed and the API is now version `1.0.0`. - **Updated** pagination on the [Asset Management API](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/asset-management-api-1): `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](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/upload-assets-api-1) 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](https://developers.bynder.com/mcp) page. - **Updated** the [Bynder MCP](https://developers.bynder.com/mcp) scopes section. Each tool now lists the OAuth scopes and the user permission it requires. #### Universal Compact View - **Updated** the [Universal Compact View](https://developers.bynder.com/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](#september-2026) #### API - **Updated** [Create Metaproperty Option](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/metaproperty-options-1/versions/9b6f896a-c5dd-4f1a-a8e4-591e5ef4f1db/operations/postApi1TaxonomyMetapropertiesMetapropertyidOptions) 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](https://developers.bynder.com/mcp) documentation. Connect AI assistants to your Bynder portal to search assets and brand guidelines. ### [August 2026](#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](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/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](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/asset-management-api-1/versions/b623ec0a-a559-4667-a0ee-28fa2b9cd7ce/paths/api-v4-media-id/post). - **Updated** [Modify MP Options](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/asset-management-api-1/versions/b623ec0a-a559-4667-a0ee-28fa2b9cd7ce/paths/api-media-options/post) to clarify that options are appended to the asset's existing option set, not replaced. - **Removed** the `checkForDuplicates` query parameter from [Create Option](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/metaproperty-options-1/versions/9b6f896a-c5dd-4f1a-a8e4-591e5ef4f1db/operations/postApi1TaxonomyMetapropertiesMetapropertyidOptions) — this parameter is no longer supported. - **Removed** the non-functional "Retrieve Webhook Configuration" endpoint from the [Webhooks](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/webhooks-api/versions/876c7972-129f-4814-b12a-964ddc49f2b6) section. - **Corrected** the chunk upload S3 endpoint URL in [Upload File in Chunks](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/upload-assets-api-1/versions/df48c638-df62-47a2-917c-b3255c452e8b/operations/Upload%20file%20in%20chunks) — the endpoint is `https://bynder-public-us-east-1.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/` and does not include your portal domain. ### [July 2026](#july-2026) #### API - **Added** the full API reference for the [Brand Guidelines (CXUC) API](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/cxuc-1/versions/9a8a4a13-fdd4-455b-8d92-5f16aea67949/operations/getGuidesApi) (`/api/1/cxuc/`), covering guidelines, groups, pages and sections. - **Added** new analytics endpoints to [Asset Usage V2](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/analytics-api/versions/c50f3280-b9e2-4302-9d7f-6584d3ee7b84/paths/v7-analytics-api-v2-asset-views/get): Asset Downloads, Asset Removes, Asset Archives, Asset Deletions, User Logins and User Creations. - **Added** missing parameters to [Register Upload Chunk](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/upload-assets-api-1/versions/df48c638-df62-47a2-917c-b3255c452e8b/operations/Register%20uploaded%20chunk). - **Updated** the [Public Groups API](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/groups-1/versions/8b5e3751-b1f6-4df8-9f5d-f494f76062f0/operations/listGroups) documentation. - **Corrected** [Upload Asset](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/upload-assets-api-1/versions/df48c638-df62-47a2-917c-b3255c452e8b/operations/Get%20closest%20Amazon%20S3%20upload%20endpoint) 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](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/upload-assets-api-1/versions/df48c638-df62-47a2-917c-b3255c452e8b/operations/Saveasanewasset) — this is a required field, not optional. ### [June 2026](#june-2026) #### API - **Added** documentation for the [Brand Guidelines Public Read Only endpoint](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/cxuc-1/versions/9a8a4a13-fdd4-455b-8d92-5f16aea67949/operations/getGuidesApi). ### [May 2026](#may-2026) #### API - **Added** five [Metaproperties](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/metaproperty-1/versions/e015c0a3-e9ae-46ee-9a70-047f982dcfe9/operations/getApi1TaxonomyMetaproperties) management endpoints: list, read, create, update and delete. - **Added** three [Options](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/metaproperty-options-1/versions/9b6f896a-c5dd-4f1a-a8e4-591e5ef4f1db/operations/getApi1TaxonomyMetapropertiesMetapropertyidOptions) management endpoints: create, update and delete. - **Added** five new [Automation](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/automations-api-1/versions/c7c13882-9e51-4554-bcb8-9517eda44741/operations/getApi1AutomationAutomations) endpoints. - **Updated** the [Automation Workflow](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/automation-workflow-api-1/versions/428d2b99-ec99-455a-8d22-c0d61a9bb810/operations/getRules) API documentation. - **Updated** [Modern Stack Upload](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/modern-stack-file-upload-1/versions/6d6cce94-280c-448d-a782-cc8e300b2ccc/paths/v7-file_cmds-upload-prepare/post) to include OAuth and client credentials usage. - **Removed** the `metaproperty` field from the [Options API v1](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/metaproperty-options-1/versions/9b6f896a-c5dd-4f1a-a8e4-591e5ef4f1db/paths/api-v4-metaproperties-options/get) response — this field is no longer returned. - **Fixed** an incorrect POST URL in the [Workflow Upload](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/workflow-jobs-api-1/versions/fe891cd9-8e8e-454e-83d7-5e79bbd56714/paths/api-workflow-jobs-id--upload/post) documentation. ### [April 2026](#april-2026) #### API - **Corrected** [Create Webhook Subscription](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/webhooks-api/versions/876c7972-129f-4814-b12a-964ddc49f2b6/operations/createSubscriptionRoute) — 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](https://docs.readme.com/main/docs/mcp-servers), so you can use the Bynder API reference with AI coding assistants directly from your IDE. ### [March 2026](#march-2026) #### API - **Added** the [GET /api/v4/brands/](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/brands-1/versions/74130be2-4512-49f1-8cd8-b4df043911ce/paths/api-v4-brands/get) 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](#january-2026) #### API - **Added** content access rights endpoints: [GET/POST `/api/content-access/options/{optionId}`](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/access-rights-and-options-api-1/versions/2cd9cb69-0956-4ff4-9774-4af770df8a45/paths/api-1-content-access-options-optionId/get) and [GET/PUT `/api/content-access/options/{optionId}/visibility`](https://developers.bynder.com/apis/access-rights-and-options-api-1/versions/2cd9cb69-0956-4ff4-9774-4af770df8a45/paths/api-1-content-access-options-optionId--visibility/get). - **Added** guidance on UUID formats — newer API endpoints require UUID v4. ## [2025](#_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](#july-2025) #### Workflow job status restrictions - **Changed** the list of possible statuses that can be used on `activeStage` in the [Modify job](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/workflow-jobs/specific-job-operations/modify-job) endpoint — the set is now restricted. ### [May 2025](#may-2025) #### Custom thumbnails and adaptive video streaming - **Added** support for adding and removing custom thumbnails via `customThumbnailFileId` and `removeCustomThumbnail` in [Modify Asset](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/assets/specific-asset-operations/modify-asset). - **Added** a new endpoint for Adaptive Video Streaming. ### [March 2025](#march-2025) #### Collection Views V2, similar assets and V1 deprecations - **Added** the [Collection Views V2](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/analytics/collection-views-v2) section to the Analytics module, plus a deprecation notice on V1. - **Added** the [Search for similar assets](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/assets/similar-assets-operations/search-for-similar-assets) endpoint. - **Added** `fileName` to the [Retrieve assets](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/assets/retrieve-assets) response. - **Deprecated** the [Asset Download V2](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/analytics/asset-usage-v1/asset-download-v2), [Asset Create](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/analytics/asset-usage-v1/asset-create) and [Asset Create CSV](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/analytics/asset-usage-v1/asset-create-csv) endpoints. ### [January 2025](#january-2025) #### Derivative presets, account additionals and Asset Creations V2 - **Added** two endpoints to list and get derivative presets and [account additionals](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/account/retrieve-derivative-presets). - **Added** the `additionalId` property to the `mediaitems` response in [Retrieve assets](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/assets/asset-operations/retrieve-assets) and [Retrieve specific asset](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/assets/specific-asset-operations/retrieve-specific-asset). - **Added** Asset Creations V2 to the [Asset Usage V2](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/analytics/asset-usage-v2) section of the Analytics module. - **Changed** the name of the retrieve derivative presets endpoint. - **Removed** the deprecated Asset Views and Asset Downloads endpoints from [Asset Usage V1](https://api.bynder.com/changelog#reference/analytics/asset-usage-v1). _Older entries will appear here as the platform evolves.
