AnnouncementStudid API v2 is live — simpler integrations, smarter identity handlingMay 7, 2026

We just released API v2, and it's the cleanest version of Studid yet.

The flagship feature is authIdentifier — a single, server-computed identifier that replaces the raw SAML spaghetti v1 asked you to wrangle. No more choosing between nameId, nameIdFormat, and pairwiseId. No more reading RFCs to figure out which field actually identifies a user. Studid picks the strongest signal available and hands you one consistent value. You ship faster, your codebase stays sane.

Already using v1? Identifiers you've stored from v1 sessions are fully valid in v2. Same user, same identity — your existing account linkage keeps working, no remapping required.

We also trimmed the fat. Public responses now return only what you actually need — authIdentifier, authIdentifierType, entityId, and affiliations. No SAML internals leaking into your integration. No noise.

The entity endpoint is now public too. Fetch institution details — name, logo, country, scopes — in a single call. Useful for building institution selectors, trust UIs, or country-based routing logic without touching SAML metadata yourself.

Two endpoints. Zero SAML knowledge. That promise hasn't changed. v2 just delivers on it better.

v1 support continues

If you're already on v1, nothing breaks. v1 and v0.1 endpoints remain fully operational through May 2027. No rush, no forced cutover. Migrate when your team is ready.
