TLS (and its predecessor SSL) are cryptographic protocols that provide authentication and data encryption for clients connecting with web servers. As new vulnerabilities are discovered, older cryptographic protocol versions are deprecated to maintain secure environments.

On Tuesday, January 21, 2020, Smarty will require clients to use TLSv1.2 or greater to connect with Smarty APIs without interruption. Clients using TLSv1.0 or TLSv1.1 will no longer be able to connect. Please refer to our documentation for more information: https://www.smarty.com/docs/cloud/requirements#ciphers

To see if your client software is able to properly connect, please use our test page: https://test-tls.api.smarty.com/


The industry, in general, is removing support for older TLS versions. Please refer to the following announcements from major browser vendors for more information:

Usage notifications | Get notified before hitting your lookup limit

Burning the end of a brisket can lead to some tasty results (we’re looking at you, burnt ends), but unexpectedly burning through your lookups? Not so appetizing. All users receive notifications when their API usage reaches 90% and 100%. To help users further leverage their lookups, Smarty’s cooked up a solution: the ability to get notification emails when usage reaches three additional intervals: 25%, 50%, and 70%. With these notifications working alongside usage by key and limit by key, you can manage your API usage better.
