PolyAPI – Release 8

Release Notes

February 19, 2024
Days since last production release: 27 Days

New Features

  • Performance metrics – captured for each api function, server function, webhook and trigger execution, can be obtained by using the x-poly-execution-id response header value against the new /metrics endpoint to obtain request specific metrics. 
  • AI Assistant
    • GPT 4.0 Turbo – Upgraded Poly AI Assistant to use 4.0 Turbo – And optimized prompts to generate structures which more closely match how a poly server function should be developed to accelerate development and automated testing. 
    • Algorithm – Added an improvement to the search algorithm to increase probability of finding functions which exist in the catalog but were not being selected previously due to verbose function descriptions.
    • User Intended Messages – Added a flag for_user:true which allows for easy filtering in AI Agent conversations. 
  • Webhook Event Handlers – Can now include a { waitForResponse: true } argument which tells Poly server to wait for a response before releasing the connection with the http client. 
  • Response Content Type – Can now be set for webhook handler, server functions, and custom app responses using polyCustom.responseContentType 
  • Python Client
    • Authorization Providers – Added support for in Python Clients
    • Tree View –  Similar to TS, now Python projects have a rendered tree view. 
    • Variable Types – Now the types of variables are available client side for easier use of variables.
    • Secrets – Removed .get() operation on secrets as secrets cannot be loaded locally by a client. 
    • Config – added python -m polyapi config to change Poly Url and API Key configurations.  
    • Descriptions – Included argument and function descriptions into client library.
    • Server Function Wakeup – Reduced function wakeup time. 
    • CLI Outputs – Standardized all text outputs with TS
  • Java Client
    • Tree View –  Similar to TS, now Java projects have a rendered tree view. 
    • Library Scope – Ability to generate a subset of the library via pom configuration.
  • Performance – Implemented an optimization for processing time when a Poly server function uses Poly API functions. 
  • Jobs – Added a mechanism to time out jobs which are running for too long.
  • Infrastructure 
    • Redis Cache: Now deployed within Poly Platform and not as a cloud specific service. 
    • Horizontal Scaling: Now enabled by default at deploy. 

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug which prevented patching enabledRedirect property on API functions. 
  • Fixed an inconsistency for attribute executionType between POST, GET and PATCH functions on /jobs
  • Now blocking webhook creation with a context+name which is already taken by another webhook in that same environment. 
  • Fixes a bug where custom return types in custom functions were not correctly being modeled with JSON Type Schema. 
  • Fixed a bug with errorHandler where application id was not propagated through in the error.
  • Fix a bug where server functions which failed to deploy were added as client functions. 
  • Fixed a bug which was preventing other MIME data types from being trained correctly in API functions.
