Changelog

Provider category field: We're adding a new category field to the Data Provider object that classifies each provider by the type of income it represents: w2 for traditional W-2 payroll employers, gig for gig-economy platforms, and benefits for government benefits providers.

The field will be returned by the List providers (GET /v1/providers/) and Retrieve provider (GET /v1/providers/{id}/) endpoints starting August 6, 2026. This is an additive change and requires no action for most integrations. If you validate API responses against a strict schema, update it to allow the new category field before then.

See the Data Provider object reference for the full schema.
