External entity candidates

The new Find Candidates route at GET /v3/entities/external-candidates lets you search for entities in external datasets that are not already available in the SESAMm database. Search by name, country, region, or other identifiers and use the returned external_id to reference external entities in other routes.

New routes:

ISIC4 hierarchy

The isic4 field on entity responses has been expanded from a flat list of classes to a hierarchical structure with divisions, groups, and classes. As isic4 was recently introduced, this was considered an acceptable breaking change.
