Owlet Weekly Update (Week of April 26)

Hello and happy Tuesday! We're still adding prolific amounts of polish to our newly redesigned site navigation and API Reference section (which you can preview in the docs you're reading in this exact moment!), but that didn't stop us from shipping lots of improvements for our Enterprise customers and for the existing API Reference. Details below! 💄

✨ New & Improved

• This release includes a big improvement to how we render response examples in the API Reference—particularly if you're having writer's block! If you don't have the time nor willpower to document a response example (we get it, times are tough), we'll fluff out the response section of your docs with some helpful info on the HTTP response code. Check out an example here! ℹ️
• Good news for fans of Enterprise projects and/or family—this release includes a couple big improvements to the Enterprise parent/child projects! Enterprise projects with a single child can now automatically redirect without the need for a child subdomain in the URL (get in touch with your CSM to set this up!), and you can now edit the subdomain for parent projects. 👪
• As much as we believe that your experience in ReadMe documentation is enhanced when you're logged in, sometimes it might be nice to... you know... have the ability to log out. Thankfully, we've made it easier for projects with custom identity providers to configure a URL for logging out. 🔐
• We're taking Global Landing Page personalization to a whole new level—you now have access to the current logged-in user's name via the Liquid template variables! 🌍
• With the coming of the Spring and Taurus seasons, the winds of change are all too palpable. It is in this spirit that you can now rotate out your project API key. 🌬️

🛠 Fixes & Updates

• You'll be happy to hear this, particularly if your dad invented Toaster Strudel: we shipped a lot of small improvements to our JavaScript Fetch and node-fetch code snippets. Better handling of URL-encoded body payloads, query string parameters, and response bodies. You go, Glen Coco! 💁‍♀️
• Search indexing fixes for Enterprise projects using a staging environment. 🔍
• Minor fixes to the SAML Authentication workflow. 👥

Thanks for reading and for being a part of the ReadMe community, folks!

P.S. We're hiring! We'd love to work with you, particularly if your current employer goes public with policies that don't exactly prioritize your well-being 🤝
