January Updates: What’s New & Improved

Here’s a roundup of the most relevant product updates the ChainPatrol team rolled out in January. From real-time webhooks and seamless API integrations to smarter detection and an automated Medium takedown system, these updates are all about improving accuracy, efficiency, and user experience. 

Webhooks for Real-Time Blocklist Updates

You can now set up webhooks to get notified the moment ChainPatrol updates its global blocklist. This means you’ll have access to the latest scam data within seconds—perfect for keeping your integrations up to date in real-time. To start using webhooks, head to the Webhooks section in your ChainPatrol dashboard settings.

API Keys for Seamless Integrations

You can now programmatically interact with ChainPatrol through our integrations using API Keys. These keys let us verify and identify your requests, unlocking more features and deeper integration with the ChainPatrol app. To get started, generate your API Key in the API Keys section of your ChainPatrol dashboard settings.

Smarter Detection & Fewer False Positives

We've improved ChainPatrol's detection flow to reduce false positives and make enforcement more accurate. Now, enforcement won’t apply to social media assets if the organization has none, legitimacy checks help verify popular YouTube channels and videos, and our browser extension has enhanced scanning capabilities. These updates mean fewer interruptions for legitimate users while maintaining strong protection.

Enhanced Medium Threat Detection & Automated Takedowns

ChainPatrol now features a two-part automated system for removing scam content on Medium. When fraudulent content is blocked, an immediate UI report is generated, and every three hours, a batch email takedown request is sent—reducing manual effort while keeping scam removal efficient. 

The system handles both methods without manual intervention, but manual triggers remain available for urgent cases. This automated system streamlines enforcement, minimizes false positives, and ensures ChainPatrol’s brand protection is more comprehensive than ever.

Public ChainPatrol Status Page

We’ve launched a public status page to keep you informed about the health of our services, including our Dashboard, APIs, and Website. If there’s an outage or disruption, you can check for real-time updates from our team.

The status page helps you quickly determine whether an issue is affecting only you or if it’s a broader outage. API integrators can use it to check for service disruptions when they spot errors in their logs. Plus, it keeps you informed about scheduled maintenance, outages, and performance issues—all in one place.

You can visit the status page anytime you experience issues with the app or API. We’ll post real-time updates, and if you need urgent support, you can use the Get in Touch button to contact our team immediately. View the Status Page, here.
