deprecation

As part of the ongoing initiative to deprecate legacy global IDs, you will begin to see deprecation warnings for GraphQL node queries using the legacy ID format.

The deprecation warnings will look like this:

{
  "data": {
    "node": {
      "login": "ahoglund",
    }
  },
  "extensions": {
    "warnings": [
      {
        "type": "DEPRECATION",
        "message": "The id MDQ6VXNlcjM0MDczMDM= is deprecated. Update your cache to use the next_global_id from the data payload.",
        "data": {
          "next_global_id": "U_kgDOADP9xw"
        },
        "link": "https://docs.github.com"
      }
    ]
  }
}

This will not impact the data portion of the payload. We recommend using these deprecation warnings along with the X-Github-Next-Global-ID to begin migrating any of your caches that contain legacy IDs. More information on how to migrate can be found in our last update as well as in the GitHub documentation.

If you have any concerns about the rollout of this change impacting your usage of the GitHub GraphQL API, please contact us and include any relevant information, so that we can better assist you.

We recently announced a plan to sunset deprecated Teams API endpoints over the coming weeks. On March 1, we conducted the first scheduled brownout for 12 hours.

As we gathered metrics and consumer feedback on the brownout, we formed a new understanding of its impact on our consumers and parallel work. Consequently, we are deciding to pause the remainder of the sunset. Instead, we will sunset deprecated Teams API endpoints over a new timeline in the coming months as we invest more deeply into API versioning and our Octokit SDKs.

If you are using a deprecated endpoint under a /teams/:team_id path, we continue to encourage you to switch to the /organizations/:org_id/team/:team_id path. Please refer to the REST API documentation to learn more about supported Teams API endpoints.

The Codes of Conduct API preview, which was accessible with the scarlet-witch-preview header, is being deprecated.

On December 6th, 2021, the fields behind this API preview will no longer be accessible. We recommend using the Get community profile metrics endpoint to retrieve information about a repository's code of conduct.

Email notifications will be sent to active users of the API preview throughout the deprecation period.

If you have any questions, please contact GitHub Support.
