## API and Theme Updates for January 3, 2020

**API**

* GraphQL API Playground is now available within BigCommerce’s Dev Docs site.

* `consent_category` added to Scripts API which allows users of the Scripts API to indicate the nature of their script. New BigCommerce features will prevent those scripts from loading until a shopper has given appropriate consent for that type of functionality. This helps the merchant stay in compliance with local laws.
