Changelog

This is your application changelog where users can visit to stay in the loop about your latest updates and improvements.

Shareable Calculators, Clearer Signals

Buyback Calculator: shareable links and multiple calculators. Each calculator has a stable, readable URL (slug), and you can create and manage several calculators—handy for different products or sites.

Clearer widget feedback when credits run out. Embedded widgets now show a dedicated “Credits Exhausted” message and stop auto-refresh when your API quota is used, so visitors see a clear explanation instead of a generic error.

Improved Two-Factor Authentication. Recovery code validation and error handling are more robust, and your 2FA status is shown more clearly in account settings.

Better search visibility. We fixed Google Search Console indexing issues (including sitemap and robots configuration) so our site and public pages can be discovered more reliably in search.

Consistent prices and timestamps on weekends. Price updates and API timestamps now follow the same trading window (06:00–22:00) every day, including weekends, so behaviour is consistent.

n8n integration (coming soon). We are working on a community node for FreeGoldPrice so you can use real-time precious metal prices (Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, 130+ currencies) directly in n8n workflows. We will release it shortly.

Sharper, Safer, Faster
  • API security hardened. Stronger attack shielding and stricter request validation deliver more reliable responses and steadier performance.
  • Faster API, fresher prices. Shorter cache window (~30s), tighter timestamps, and quicker price propagation.
  • More reliable data delivery. Automatic refresh after maintenance, more resilient upstream connectivity, and FX rates updated every 30 minutes.
  • Clearer usage insights. More accurate last-activity tracking, improved dashboard activity view, and precise call timestamps.
  • Premium for one-time packages. Buying a one-time booster now grants Premium status—clearly separating paid from free usage and keeping quotas consistent.
  • Smart Package Calculator. Cleaner purchase links and more accurate recommendations to help you pick the right package faster.
  • Planned maintenance notices. Upcoming maintenance windows now appear in your dashboard; we’ll also send email reminders 3 days before and on the day of any scheduled downtime.

Hardened & Accelerated

Performance

  • Faster load times across the entire site and dashboard.
  • Snappier API responses under normal and peak traffic.
  • Smoother navigation thanks to front-end and caching tweaks.

Stability & Reliability

  • Higher uptime via a more resilient infrastructure layer.
  • Stronger failover and health checks for uninterrupted service.
  • More consistent 24/7 data delivery.

Service Quality

  • Minute-level price updates remain unchanged.
  • Optimized API performance for all users.
  • Improved data freshness and end-to-end latency.

User Experience

  • Quicker page interactions throughout the platform.
  • UI refined to reduce perceived wait time.
  • Features feel smoother under heavy usage.

General Optimizations

  • More automation to sustain steady performance.
  • Better resource utilization for efficiency and scale.
  • Preventive maintenance and improved error handling.

Quality & Scale

  • Platform stability improved through comprehensive tuning.
  • Increased headroom for growing user volumes.
  • Stronger service continuity with fewer interruptions.

Security & Anti-Abuse

  • We experienced another wave of spam attacks.
     In response, we tightened WAF rules, refined rate-limits, expanded bot-signature blocking, and tuned edge caching to absorb bursts—further reducing the risk of outages going forward. No data exposure occurred.

Locked Down & Back Up
  • Security patches deployed. We hardened rate-limiting rules, upgraded our WAF, and closed an edge-case vulnerability exposed by yesterday’s traffic storm.
  • Apology for downtime. A spam flood hammered the legacy endpoints, forcing us to trigger emergency throttles that caused intermittent 503 errors. We’re genuinely sorry for the disruption.
  • Service restored & stable. All APIs are humming again. No data was breached; it was purely an onslaught of massive, automated requests.

Thanks for your patience, and please shout if you notice anything unusual.

Legacy Docs Go Live
  • Legacy documentation published. A dedicated quick-start guide for former freegoldprice.org and DGCSC.org users is now online → https://freegoldprice.org/documentations.
  • Key / password vouchers explained. Step-by-step instructions show how your old credentials automatically redeem unused hits on the new platform.
  • Endpoint cheat-sheet included. Full list of surviving v1 URLs and action names, plus notes on improved uptime and faster response times.

If you still run the classic endpoints, read the guide, top up your hits if needed, and keep the data flowing!



Docs Dropped — Gear Up!
  • Full documentation is now live. Dive into endpoint specs, code samples, and a must-read section on data limitations & risk acceptance before you ship.
  • Pricing plans coming in the next few days. We’re just waiting on the final green light from the payment gateway.
  • Running low on hits? If your balance is empty—or will expire in the next 48 hours—email support@freegoldprice.org and we’ll top you up so your app keeps ticking until the new plans land.

Read the docs, mind the disclaimers, and stay golden!



Let’s Dig Deeper — Day 2
  • Legacy API (v1) bug squashed. A rare parameter glitch on the old dgcsc.org endpoint sometimes returned empty price arrays. Patched and verified—your vintage scripts should hum again.
  • Performance boost. We refactored the caching layer and retuned the load-balancer rules, shaving roughly 35 % off v1 response times. Fewer timeouts, smoother streams.

Keep digging, keep the feedback coming — and stay golden!



Gold Diggers, Day One
  • Journey Begins. Today marks the official launch of freegoldprice.org’s new infrastructure.
  • Legacy Endpoints Online. All former API routes from freegoldprice.org and DGCSC.org have been stood up so your existing integrations continue to work unchanged.
  • New Plans on Deck. We’ve drafted fresh Booster Packages and budget-friendly monthly tiers and are now waiting for final approval from our payment provider before switching them on.
  • Please use your old freegoldprice.org or DGCSC.org Key as a Voucher. Your hits will be applied and an API-Key will be automatically genereted. The requests should work afterwards.

Thanks for bearing with us while we finish the last pieces — more updates soon!
