API Deprecations
Introduction
Our API evolves over time to add new features, improve functionality, and maintain security. When certain features or practices become outdated, they will be deprecated, meaning they are scheduled to be removed or replaced by a newer alternative. Remember, deprecation does not mean immediate removal but indicates that the feature should be avoided and planned for replacement in the future.
This page is designed to provide you with the latest information about deprecated features within our API. We understand that changes to the API can impact your development process and we are committed to ensuring a smooth transition for all users.
Our API leverages the GraphQL @deprecated
directive to flag deprecated fields and enum values. This feature enables you to see warnings within your development environment or GraphQL Explorer when you are using a deprecated feature.
Deprecation Policy
Our deprecation policy is designed to give developers a clear and predictable path for transitioning from old features and functionality to new ones. When a feature is deprecated:
- We will provide a minimum of 6 months notice before any deprecated feature is removed.
- We will provide migration instructions for deprecated features.
