Note

Release version 0.44.0 of the Profound Python SDK

• Adds access_token support to both Profound and AsyncProfound clients, sending a Bearer Authorization header alongside or instead of X-API-Key; the PROFOUND_ACCESS_TOKEN env var is read automatically
• Adds "sentiment_v2" as a valid analysis_type across prompt params, responses, and filters
• Expands BotNameFilter and BotProviderFilter to accept additional bot names (e.g. ERNIEBot, Gemini-Deep-Research) and providers (e.g. mistral, yandex, baidu)
• Behavioral Change: clients no longer raise on missing PROFOUND_API_KEY at construction time; instead a TypeError is raised at request-build time if neither Authorization nor X-API-Key is present. Query string arrays now use repeated keys instead of comma-separated values.
