Changelog

This page tracks notable, user-facing changes across the Bloody Good Tests platform — the REST API and webhooks, the practitioner portal, and the consumer website. Entries are listed newest-first.

Each entry is tagged with the area it affects:

Tag	Area
API	The REST API. Where relevant, the affected version is noted (e.g. API · v1.1.0).
Webhooks	Webhook events and delivery.
Portal	The practitioner portal — ordering, results, organisation & member management, branding.
Website	The consumer website — buying tests, viewing results, importing your own results.

API versioning

The API is versioned via the Accept header (see API Versioning). Backwards-incompatible changes to existing response shapes are introduced behind a new version; additive fields may appear on an existing version without a version bump. For the full, always-current contract, see the REST API reference and the interactive Swagger Documentation.

July 2026

• API · v1.1.0 — Medicare ordering. POST /v1/referrals accepts medicareTests to order tests under Medicare with the practitioner's provider number, producing a separate Medicare referral. Every referral response carries a medicare boolean. Ordering a test under Medicare is not a guarantee that the patient pays nothing — eligibility and any gap or full fee are decided by the collecting laboratory at the time of collection. See Medicare ordering.
• API · v1.1.0 — routingMessage on Medicare referrals. The Medicare referral returned from Create now carries a plain-language summary of whether (and from which labs) the practitioner's results will route back to them automatically. Advisory only — it never blocks the order. null on commercial referrals and on all other endpoints. See the response fields.
• Portal — Roles and permissions. Organisations now control member access through roles built from individual capabilities, with built-in Owner / Admin / Support / Read-only roles and support for custom ones (Settings → Roles). Medicare ordering is opt-in — no built-in role grants it; create a role with the Order with Medicare provider number capability. Existing members kept the access they had. Note this governs people, not API credentials — an API key authenticates as the organisation and is not limited by any member's roles. See Roles & Permissions.
• Portal — Medicare result routing. Notify each pathology laboratory that a practitioner is ordering through BGT, so their Medicare results route back to the right organisation (Settings → Result routing).
• API · v1.1.0 · Portal — Medicare ordering is now live in production. After rolling out in non-production environments, Medicare ordering via POST /v1/referrals (v1.1.0+) is generally available to all organisations. No API changes are required — order under a registered provider number as documented. See Medicare ordering.
• API · v1.1.0 · Portal — Medicare provider signatures. Ordering-provider signatures can now be captured when registering a Medicare provider (Settings → Provider Numbers) — a prerequisite for Medicare ordering. The signature dialog was redesigned with a PDF preview.
• Website — The Import results (bring-your-own results) action moved to the site header and the PDF preview was fixed, making it easier to upload historical lab results.
• Website — /buy links now route to the dedicated consumer app automatically, plus general buy-page fixes.
• Portal · Website — One-click cross-app sign-in between the practitioner and consumer apps.

June 2026

• API · v1.1.0 · Portal — Medicare ordering. Order Medicare-billed pathology tests alongside commercial tests via POST /v1/referrals, under a registered provider number. The request returns an array of referrals (one commercial, one Medicare) and the patient receives a single email with both referral PDFs. In the portal, provider-address and clinical-notes capture were added and prices are hidden for Medicare items. See Medicare ordering.

• API — Referral editing & reissue. Update a referral's patient details and metadata via PATCH /v1/referrals/{uuid}; the referral PDF is regenerated automatically.

• Website · Portal — Bring Your Own (BYO) lab results. Customers can upload, review and confirm their own historical lab results, folded into the Results page.

• Website — A dedicated consumer app launched, with a personal mode and seamless cross-app session transfer from the practitioner app.

• API · v1.0.0 · Portal — Address handling improved: postCode is accepted and returned consistently as a string, addressLine2 is optional, and state is captured across verification, settings and payment.

• API · v1.0.0 — Referral responses are now resilient to imperfect stored data — returned as stored rather than failing the request.

• Portal — Results status “Pending” renamed to “Lab Processing” and turnaround-time estimates removed; reworked profile verification flow; Knowledge Base link added to the sidebar; branding settings now show image-requirement hints.

• Website — Account credits are now handled at checkout.

May 2026

• API · v1.0.0 · Portal · Website — Lipid risk-target ranges. Result biomarkers now expose additionalRanges for cardiovascular/lipid risk targets (e.g. high-risk cholesterol) alongside the standard reference range, and these are presented correctly to users.
• Portal — White-label branding support, letting organisations theme their experience.
• Portal — Organisation webhook configuration and member management are now generally available.
• Website · Portal — Collection-centre map/finder UX improvements.
• API — Added a machine-readable GET /llms.txt API description for LLM/agent tooling, and corrected the Swagger docs URL.

April 2026

• API · v1.0.0 — New PATCH /v1/referrals/{uuid} endpoint to update a referral.
• API · v1.0.0 — Results now include resultAttachment, a signed URL to the result PDF.
• API · v1.0.0 — Referrals and results now include productId and productName.
• API · v1.0.0 · Portal · Website — Female sex-hormone biomarkers now expose cycle-phase reference ranges via additionalRanges.
• API · v1.0.0 — Partner discount information is now returned via the API.
• API (staging) — PUT /v1/referrals/{uuid} generates dummy results so you can exercise the results flow and webhooks end-to-end without a real lab. See Simulate Results.
• Portal — Ability to store/import results that aren't tied to a referral (foundation for BYO).
• Website — Support redirecting back to your site when a purchase completes.
