Velocity2.5

Product management platform for prioritization and roadmapping

Productboard's v2 API is growing toward a full programmatic data surface.

api-v2developer-apiproduct-hierarchycustomer-scoringquery-filters
◆Current state
The last several months of Productboard developer changes are incremental v2 API expansion: team filters, tag field search, metadata source filters, fulltext note search, and custom field presence checks. The v2 API is closing parity with v1 while adding capabilities the old API lacked. A beta customer score endpoint — aggregating weighted customer importance across the product hierarchy — is the one genuinely new capability in this period.
◆Where it's heading
The pattern is steady API buildout, not product pivots. Each changelog entry adds one query parameter or endpoint. The customer score beta, if it graduates and expands, would make Productboard's prioritization signals programmatically accessible to external BI tools and dashboards — that's the most meaningful shift in this period. The v2 API is becoming the integration layer that makes Productboard data portable.
◆Prediction
Customer score coming out of beta and expanding to more entity types, followed by write-side endpoints for prioritization data. CRM source metadata will likely become more central as Productboard deepens bidirectional integrations with Salesforce and HubSpot.

◆Recent moves

    v2 - 2026-09-09 - Search tag field values

    Tag field search now accepts a query parameter with fuzzy, case-insensitive matching across TAG field values, returning up to 20 results by relevance. This makes tag-heavy Productboard setups navigable via API, not just the UI.

    v2 - 2026-07-20 - Customer score for entities (Beta)

    A beta endpoint now returns aggregated customer scores for any node in the product hierarchy — product, component, feature, or subfeature — combining weighted customer importance across the entity and all descendants. This is the first machine-readable signal of Productboard's core prioritization value, useful for external dashboards and prioritization tools.

    v2 - 2026-07-02 - Fulltext search for notes

    Fulltext search on note content via `data.search.query` closes a parity gap with v1's `term` parameter, combinable with filters and field selection. Gated rollout means it's not universal yet, but it's the first consistent content search capability in the v2 API.

    v2 - 2026-06-29 - Company source metadata available

    The `metadata.source` field on company entities is now fully populated in v2, completing a migration that removes the data consistency gap flagged during the v1-to-v2 transition. This was a known gap being resolved, not a new capability.

    v2 - 2026-06-18 - Custom field presence filter

    The `isSet` presence filter lets API callers query for entities where a custom field has any value, or explicitly has none — enabling data completeness checks and coverage reports that weren't possible with the previous filter set.

    v2 - 2026-06-15 - Filter entities by team

    List and search endpoints for entities now accept team filters, letting API clients scope results to specific teams without client-side filtering. Multi-team organizations with separate product areas will see the biggest benefit.
