Breaking change in Leads API response

In the source_name format of the Leads response object, the empty string of "" will become "Manually created" for these four endpoints:

Due to this change, one more item will be added to the response: {name: "Manually created"} . The additional response item essentially is not a breaking change, but you might want to look into this in case your code checks the responses in a more strict way.

  <p><b>What is going to change?</b></p>

Until now, it was not possible to filter manually created leads specifically, because the source_name was an empty string. After adding an actual value to the source_name, it will be possible to filter manually created leads using this value.

  <p><b>Who is affected?</b></p>

Anyone with functionality built on top of the previous behavior will need to alter their code.
