Tweakwise App & API

On request, we've made matching dimension and attribute values case insensitive for Google Analytics 4 reports, just like it works in the UA module. It's also more consistent with the rest of Tweakwise. For example, a page URL like example.com/ABC will now match a product if it has an attribute slug with a value like example.com/abc. It should make everything less complicated!
We fixed a bug where there was no inline validation on the metrics and dimension when creating a custom GA4 report, resulting in the module doing 'nothing'.
Just as for search phrases, category, and facet suggestions, it is now possible to provide a name for product suggestions. It could help create a better user experience while implementing autocomplete on your website.
We've done a bugfix for Google Analytics 4 where the report preview table was practically unusable with long values. Besides, it was possible to select the Page URL dimension when creating a custom report, which shouldn't be the case.
Some customers may have experienced slow loading of derived attribute pages where it sometimes took almost one minute to open a detail page of some attributes. We've improved the performance of the derived attribute module, although we still lack some in-app performance here.
We have changed the way GA4 metrics are imported for custom reports. Before, a product could have multiple values for the same metric in a report; now, all these values are summed up, resulting in one value.

Our complete API reference has been moved to a new location and can be seen in full action at docs.tweakwise.com. This new documentation website will host our technical articles, tutorials, and how-tos. Although this can still be considered a work in progress, it's already worth visiting.

We expanded our JavaScript suite with new functionality. From now on, implementing an autocomplete overlay (instead of instant search) is possible. The autocomplete is provided with search phrase suggestions, category suggestions, facet suggestions, and product suggestions and is as powerful as via our API implementation. We also considered redirects, which are not used by instant search.
Note: Category and facet (filter) suggestions require additional configuration and will only work out of the box with some technical implementation.

We've added a new feature that makes our synonyms module even more powerful. While creating new synonyms, you'll get some suggestions based on AI. Although this can be very useful, we believe in a human factor in creating synonyms as AI still has problems in understanding context. At the moment of writing, this feature runs in beta-modus (with some known minor issues) but is available to anyone interested.

We fixed a bug where the tn_parameters were not URL appropriately encoded, resulting in problems for some customers.
A bug was fixed where the scroll-to-top functionality (after filtering of paginating) didn't work on Safari browsers.

We made minor speed improvements by removing whitespaces in the JSON objects and fixing some vulnerabilities by adding extra XSS protection to the Magento Tweakwise extension.
Search banners were not shown correctly to shops that use Hyva, but now they do again.
Our export functionality is now expanded with two new options: you can choose to export only stock or price information. As there is less data to generate and export, this should lead to at least a fifty percent performance win.
Category numbers won't longer be added to the search URLs while using AJAX.
