}Change log
Versioned, visible, and disciplined.
Listings are expected to publish change notes. Schema stability is part of marketplace quality, and breaking behavior should never be invisible.
v1.8.1
Mar 18, 2026
Added customs hold taxonomy for de minimis screening.
Liability posture
LumenAPI reviews listings for marketplace quality and operational credibility, but the supplier remains responsible for API performance, legality, licensing, and data accuracy. Reputation badges are standing signals, not warranties or guarantees.
