Changelog
What's new in the Thunderbit Open API and docs
2026-05-20 — Search endpoint, output formats, optional schema
POST /search (new). Run a Google search and Distill each top result in one call (up to 10 results). Each item returns its own success flag plus optional markdown, summary, answer, highlights, links, images. See the Search endpoint and the new Search and Distill recipe.
formats parameter on /distill and /extract. Request links, images, summary, {type:"question", question:"…"}, or {type:"highlights", query:"…"} per call. See Output Formats for the full table.
/extract schema is now optional. When omitted, Thunderbit auto-generates a flat schema from the page content. Auto-generation failures surface as AI_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE.
Iframe-embed resolution in Distill. Markdown output now includes descriptive embed blocks for YouTube and four other supported platforms.
Credit pricing. Each successful LLM format (summary, question, highlights) adds 4 credits; failed LLM formats are not charged. Search adds a flat +1 base credit per request.
2026-04-28 — Big docs expansion
SDKs (3 → 13). New idiomatic recipe pages for Java, Ruby, Rust, PHP, .NET / C#, Kotlin, Swift, Elixir, Dart / Flutter, and Bash / cURL — plus a brand-new SDKs overview page with brand-color icons. Don't see your language? The OpenAPI spec plugs into openapi-generator for 50+ more.
Integrations (3 → 14). Added Vercel AI SDK, Mastra, Haystack, AutoGen, MCP, n8n, Zapier, Make, Pipedream, Dify, Flowise. Sidebar now groups them by AI Frameworks, Automation, and LLMOps, with an integrations overview at the top.
Env-aware URLs. Every Dashboard / API URL in the docs swaps between app.thunderbit.com ↔ app.thunderbit.co (and openapi.thunderbit.*) based on ?env=dev|prod, localStorage, build-time env, or hostname. Useful for testers running against staging.
/llms.txt route. A structured plain-text index of every page, served at /docs/llms.txt. Drop the URL into any AI agent that supports llms.txt for instant context.
Content reshuffle. Introduction page trimmed (393 → ~50 lines) and re-fashioned as a dense landing. Rate Limits / Credits / Output Formats / Error Codes now live in their canonical pages (no duplication). New Best Practices and FAQ guides.
Earlier
