Before the Astro-COLIBRI team heads off for a well-earned summer vacation, we were able to implement a few new features and improvements. The new version of our platform (v2.16.0) is available now. It includes:

- **Enhanced API Requests** : API requests can now directly utilize the filter settings defined in our web and smartphone interfaces, streamlining your data retrieval process. This was request by several of our users (e.g. @jean.paul.astro). Simply define your event filters in the graphical interfaces and then submit your requests to the _latest\_transients_ and _cone\_search_ endpoints without sending the _filter_ details in the post request. We’ll recover the filters associated to your user-ID and use them for the request.

- **Extended _event_ Endpoint** : The _event_ endpoint has been extended to be able to handle lists of events (instead of only a single one). You can now retrieve all details of a selection of events in a single query improving efficiency and usability.

- **Top-10 Events Download** : As an example, the extended functionality of the _event_ endpoint is used to enable the download the top-10 events selected each week in collaboration with the Pro-Am network RAPAS. See #RAPAS for details.

- **Minor Improvements and Bug Fixes** : As usual we were able to make various minor enhancements and resolved several bugs, including:

We hope these updates will further enhance your experience with Astro-COLIBRI. As always, your feedback is invaluable to us: please let us know if you encounter any issues or have any suggestions for future improvements.

Your Astro-COLIBRI team

Hi All,

- Utilizing the filter settings defined in our web and smartphone interfaces: seems ok for me. Just conform to my wishes.
