# v2 Change Summary

**Announcing Version 2 of Our API: Enhanced Search Performance and New Features**

Version 2 of our API introduces powerful enhancements to improve the handling of large search requests, along with exciting new features like trending headlines. Here’s a summary of the key updates:

* **Async Query Capabilities**:
  * Added the `/api/v2/query-async` and `/api/v2/get-results` endpoints for asynchronous queries.
    * Submit a search request to `/api/v2/query-async` to receive a `query_id`.
    * Use the `query_id` and your `API_key` with `/api/v2/get-results` to check the status of your query and access results when they’re ready.
* **Search Logic**
  * Search **logical operators. Examples:**
    * ("tesla" or "cybertruck") and not "elon musk"
    * ("amazon" and "aws")
    * ("donald trump" or "trump" or "president") and not "elon musk"
* **Improved Query Performance**:
  * Async Query Results are cached in solid-state memory, enabling much faster pagination through large query results.
* **New Feature: Headlines (BETA)**:
  * Launched the `/api/v2/headlines` endpoint to retrieve trending news topics and related articles.
* **Enhanced Search Flexibility**:
  * Improved `/api/v2/query` to better handle missing fields.
  * Introduced a filter to refine search results based on the traffic rank of news sites.
    * *Example*: Limit results to the top 5% of news sites by monthly traffic.

These updates are designed to streamline your workflows, improve efficiency, and help you unlock new insights from your searches.
