[Deprecation] Python 3.9 runtime no longer accepted for new scripts

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:00:00 -0000

The `python3.9` runtime is no longer accepted when creating or updating a script. All new scripts default to `python3.13`. Existing scripts that use `python3.9` continue to return that value in responses, and historical runs are unaffected. Note that the PATCH endpoint uses a `JSONPatchDocument` request body, so the runtime restriction on updates is enforced server-side rather than in the schema.

[Feature] Idempotent script execution

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 12:00:00 -0000

The script execution endpoint now accepts an optional `X-Scripting-Nonce` header. If a request with the same nonce was already processed for the script, the original run is returned instead of starting a new one.

[Feature] Initial feature preview release

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:00:00 -0000

Initial feature preview release of the Scripting API. Provides endpoints for managing scripts, script runs, script sources, and dependency management.

[Feature] Script permissions management

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:00:00 -0000

We've introduced dedicated endpoints for managing script permissions. You can now retrieve and modify who has access to a script programmatically, bringing scripts in line with the permissions management already available for files, documents, spreadsheets and presentations.

[Feature] Operations endpoint

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:00:00 -0000

We've added an endpoint for retrieving an operation by its ID. The long-running endpoints in this API — starting a run, generating a dependency bundle, exporting and synchronizing sources, and uploading source content — return a `Location` header pointing at this endpoint. Poll it to follow an operation to completion, then read `resourceUrl` for a link to the resulting resource.
