April 2025: Delivered configurable API base URL handling in the Cohere Compass SDK, introducing an optional include_api_in_url parameter to Compass client classes. Default remains true for backward compatibility. Updated URL construction and API endpoint definitions to conditionally include '/api', enabling configurable API host paths and easier testing across environments. This reduces integration frictions for diverse deployment setups and improves testing coverage.
