+ ### This week's roundup
+
+ #### New features
+
+ - **Bots for the Chat API**: Create and manage programmatic bot accounts with the new `/2/bots` endpoints. Mint, rotate, and revoke a bot's bearer token and manage its identity, all with app-only authentication. See the [Bots guide](/xchat/bots) and [API reference](/x-api/bots/create-a-bot).
+ - **Broadcast events in the X Activity API**: Subscribe by User ID to `broadcast.start` and `broadcast.end` to receive real-time notifications when a user starts or ends a live broadcast. Both are public events, available with app-only or user-context authentication. Learn more in the [X Activity API docs](/x-api/activity/introduction).
+ - **X Ads MCP**: Connect Grok, Claude Code, or any MCP-capable client to the official Ads MCP server at `https://ads-api.x.com/mcp` to manage campaigns, pull analytics, and search targeting through natural language. Campaigns and line items are always created paused, so nothing spends until you activate it. See the [Ads MCP overview](/x-ads-api/mcp).
+ - **Usage credits endpoint**: Check your developer platform credit balance in USD with [`GET /2/usage/credits`](/x-api/usage/get-usage-credits).
+ - **Delete Chat messages**: Remove one or more messages from a Chat conversation with [`POST /2/chat/conversations/{id}/messages/delete`](/x-api/chat/delete-chat-messages).
+
+ #### Updates
+
+ - **New Ads API web conversion metrics**: The `WEB_CONVERSION` metrics group in [Analytics](/x-ads-api/analytics) now includes eight additional metrics, such as `conversion_add_to_carts`, `conversion_checkouts_initiated`, `conversion_content_views`, and `conversion_landing_page_views`, segmentable by `PLATFORMS` and `CONVERSION_TAGS`.
+ - **Community Notes evaluate endpoint moved**: Evaluate a drafted note at [`POST /2/notes/evaluate`](/x-api/community-notes/evaluate-a-community-note). This replaces `POST /2/evaluate_note`.
