Data API

Tradeup Request Parameter

The behavior of the tradeup parameter has been modified.

When executing on a request for D-U-N-S A with tradeUp=hq set, the current behavior checks that D-U-N-S Number A can be returned through the API (meets data sufficiency and product availablity rules); if not, an error message is returned.

That behavior has changed so it no longer matters if D-U-N-S A can be returned; instead it only checks if the HQ D-U-N-S Number is can be returned.

Example:

• D-U-N-S Number 123456789 is not available for CMPELK.
• The headquarters for D-U-N-S Number 123456789 is D-U-N-S Number 234567890; it is available.
• Request CMPELK for D-U-N-S Number 123456789 with tradeUp=hq:
  • Previously, an error would be returned.
  • Now, D-U-N-S Number 234567890 will be returned.
