For the company DEEN RENTALS LTD (11944633) the has\_chargres flag is set to false despite the fact that the company does have charges, and these show on the beta search site.

In general we use this flag to decide whether or not we need to make a call to get the charges. However the fact that the charges show on the beta site suggests it still checks whatever this flag says. I’m wondering if this would be a “best practice” thing for us to start doing as well or should the has\_charges flag be a reliable indicator and this is just a one off?

The has\_charges has been depreciated (see documentation)  
You should be using links.charges.

Thanks Mark, I missed that one. Was it announced anywhere? It would be great to have some kind of change log for this stuff.
