Changelog

New features, tighter integrations, and a smoother developer experience. To catch up on our latest releases shaping our developer platform, see the link below.

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.

MCP server and metaproperty option behavior

  • Added the Bynder MCP server to the documentation, so you can use the Bynder API reference directly with AI coding assistants.
  • 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.

Asset relations, custom thumbnails and upload corrections

  • Added POST /api/v1/asset/assets/{assetId}/relations/{relationId} and DELETE /api/v1/asset/assets/{assetId}/relations/{relationId} 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.

Brand Guidelines (CXUC) API and new analytics endpoints

  • Added the full API reference for the Brand Guidelines (CXUC) API (/api/1/cxuc/), covering guidelines, groups, pages and sections.

  • 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.

Content access rights endpoints and UUID guidance

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.
