Splitters Migration

What You Get

Dedicated /splitters endpoints — No more type: "SPLITTER" filters
New GET /splitters/{id} endpoint — Retrieve a single splitter (not available in old API)
Typed SDK responses — splitter objects are typed, no casting needed
Simpler config — No more type field required

The old /processors endpoint is still supported in this API version for backward compatibility. You can migrate incrementally.

Quick Start: Common Patterns

Creating a Splitter

TypeScript

Python

Java

Before (2025-04-21)

1 const processor = await client.processor.create({
2   name: "Invoice Packet Splitter",
3   type: "SPLITTER",
4   config: { type: "SPLITTER", splitClassifications: [...] }
5 });

After (2026-02-09)

1 const splitter = await client.splitters.create({
2   name: "Invoice Packet Splitter",
3   config: { splitClassifications: [...] }
4 });

Retrieving a Splitter (New!)

TypeScript

Python

Java

1 const splitter = await client.splitters.retrieve("spl_abc123");
2 console.log(splitter.draftVersion.config);

Listing Splitters

TypeScript

Python

Java

Before

1 const processors = await client.processor.list({ type: "SPLITTER" });

After

1 const splitters = await client.splitters.list();

Publishing a Version

TypeScript

Python

Java

Before

1 const version = await client.processorVersion.create("dp_abc123", { releaseType: "minor" });

After

1 const version = await client.splitterVersions.create("spl_abc123", { releaseType: "minor" });

Endpoint Changes Summary

Old Endpoint	New Endpoint
`POST /processors` (type: SPLITTER)	`POST /splitters`
`GET /processors?type=SPLITTER`	`GET /splitters`
(not available)	`GET /splitters/{id}` (new!)
`POST /processors/{id}`	`POST /splitters/{id}`
`POST /processors/{id}/publish`	`POST /splitters/{splitterId}/versions`
`GET /processors/{id}/versions`	`GET /splitters/{splitterId}/versions`
`GET /processors/{id}/versions/{versionId}`	`GET /splitters/{splitterId}/versions/{versionId}`

Request Changes

Old	New	Notes
`type: "SPLITTER"`	(removed)	Implicit from endpoint
`cloneProcessorId`	`cloneSplitterId`	Renamed
`config.type: "SPLITTER"`	(removed)	Implicit
`config.parser`	`config.parseConfig`	Renamed
`config.baseProcessor`	`config.baseProcessor`	No change (optional)

cloneSplitterId and config are mutually exclusive. You can either clone an existing splitter or provide a config, but not both. The API will return a validation error if both are provided.

Response Changes

Response shape changes: Single object responses are now returned directly (no wrapper key), and list responses use { "object": "list", "data": [...] } format. See Simplified Response Shapes for details.

Old	New
`success: true`	(removed)
`{ "splitter": {...} }`	`{...}` (object returned directly)
`processors`	`splitters`
`processorVersion`	`splitterVersion`
`versions`	`splitterVersions`
`draftVersion.processorId`	`draftVersion.splitterId`
List includes `versions[]`	(removed) — Use versions endpoint

SDK Method Reference

Old Method	New Method
`client.processor.create()`	`client.splitters.create()`
`client.processor.list()`	`client.splitters.list()`
`client.processor.update()`	`client.splitters.update()`
—	`client.splitters.retrieve()` (new!)
`client.processorVersion.create()`	`client.splitterVersions.create()`
`client.processorVersion.list()`	`client.splitterVersions.list()`
`client.processorVersion.get()`	`client.splitterVersions.retrieve()`
