This week, we gave our API calls the kind of independence that Destiny’s Child always envisioned, got our new click-through rates ready to go, and made sure that Yahoo will go gentle into that good night.

Feature improvement

• Get ready for your new CTR curve and better share of voice metrics
  If you haven’t customized your share of voice click-through rates, then a new CTR curve is coming for you on October 1. Read what this new model will do for you and the full details of the change here.

Tracking update

• Yahoo makes its graceful exit from the frontend of STAT today
  While you’ll no longer see Yahoo anywhere in the app, you can still sneak your current and historical Yahoo data out of STAT using our reports and API services. We’ll say toodaloo to Yahoo for good on October 27, 2017.

Bug fix

• API calls decoupled from unrelated data stores
  We uncrossed some wires so that when you’re making API calls and a database is down for maintenance (or has a gremlin gummin’ up the works), only calls depending on that database will be affected. You’ll get a handy error message letting you know that your data can’t come to the phone right now, and to please hang up and try again later. In the meantime, your other calls are free to connect.

Still not sure about switching to the new CTR model? Need some help planning your Yahoo goodbye party? Let us know at clientsuccess@getSTAT.com. Want more release notes? See those here.

Now it’s one last sprint to the finish line of our new SERP Features tab!

Cheers,
The STAT team
