changedInput schema / properties / state / description
Previous value: -"2-letter state abbreviation (e.g., \"WA\") to limit results to providers serving that state."New value: +"2-letter state abbreviation (e.g., \"WA\") to limit results to providers serving that state. Matches individual deployment filings, so every filter given must hold on one filing together — a provider is returned for state=\"WA\" with tech_filter=[\"50\"] only if it filed fiber in Washington, not if it filed fiber elsewhere and something else in Washington."
changedInput schema / properties / tech_filter / description
Previous value: -"Technology codes to filter. 50=Fiber, 40–43=Cable, 10–12=DSL, 60=Satellite, 70=Fixed wireless. Omit for all technologies."New value: +"Technology codes to filter. 50=Fiber, 40–43=Cable, 10–12=DSL, 60=Satellite, 70=Fixed wireless. Omit for all technologies. Matches individual deployment filings like state does, so pairing this with name_search narrows to filings made under the matched name — a holding company that files some technologies under an acquired brand name can come back empty here while its techCodes list the technology. To ask what one company deploys, search the name alone and read techCodes off the result."
changedOutput schema / properties / notice / description
Previous value: -"Recovery hint when no providers are found — suggests how to broaden the search. Absent on successful results."New value: +"Guidance about the result set — that the list was capped at the limit, that the upstream scan returned a sample rather than every match, and how to broaden the search when nothing matched. Absent when none applies."
changedOutput schema / properties / providers / items / properties / holdingCompanyName / description
Previous value: -"Holding company name."New value: +"Holding company name as filed on the deployment rows this search matched. One holding company number can carry more than one name in Form 477 — an acquired brand still filing under the parent number — and this is the name the matched rows carry, not necessarily every name filed under the number."
changedOutput schema / properties / providers / items / properties / statesServed / description
Previous value: -"State abbreviations where this provider has reported filings."New value: +"Every state, district, and territory this holding company filed deployments in nationally — its complete footprint, resolved per company. Not narrowed by the state filter, and complete even when the provider list is a sample."
changedOutput schema / properties / providers / items / properties / techCodes / description
Previous value: -"Technology codes reported by this provider."New value: +"Every technology code this holding company deployed nationally — its complete set, resolved per company. Not narrowed by tech_filter, and complete even when the provider list is a sample. Drawn from block-level deployment filings, so it can exceed the technologies fcc_get_provider reports, which counts only those with reported covered population."
