As of now, the response XML for multiple APIs has changed on Sandbox, but effective after November 29thDecember 01, 2024 we will be rolling thing changes to production. If you are interested in being notified on a specific date, please create a ticket by email support@chili-publish.com

Integration Review: Please review your integration code to ensure compatibility with the updated XML changes. Special attention should be given to XML parsing implementations to handle the inclusion of additional ampersands in the URL attribute.
Testing on Sandbox: We strongly recommend conducting tests on your Sandbox environment, which already incorporates these changes, to identify and resolve any potential issues.
Nature of the Change
The primary change involves the modification of the URL attribute within the XML response. This attribute now directly points to the output file in our blob storage to increase performance and stability. However, the attribute will include additional ampersands (&), potentially impacting XML parsing in your current integration if it does not fully comply with XML spec 1.0 standards.

Potential Impact
Integrations that do not adhere to XML spec 1.0 may encounter errors or fail to correctly parse the XML, especially if custom XML parsing methods have been implemented. For example, if you were using DOMParser with text/html, the unescaping of the new XML changes would lead to a URL value with incorrectly escaped ampersands (&).
