Reminder to migrate to updated Google Data APIs

December 15, 2014

Over the past few years, we’ve been updating our APIs with new versions across Drive and Calendar, as well as those used for managing Google Apps for Work domains. These new APIs offered developers several improvements over older versions of the API. With each of these introductions, we also announced the deprecation of a set of corresponding APIs.

The deprecation period for these APIs is coming to an end. As of April 20, 2015, we will discontinue these deprecated APIs. Calls to these APIs and any features in your application that depend on them will not work after April 20th.

Discontinued APIReplacement API
Documents List API Drive API
Admin Audit Admin SDK Reports API
Google Apps Profiles Admin SDK Directory API
Provisioning Admin SDK Directory API
Reporting Admin SDK Reports API
Email Migration API v1 Email Migration API v2
Reporting Visualization No replacement available

When updating, we also recommend that you use the opportunity to switch to OAuth2 for authorization. Older protocols, such as ClientLogin, AuthSub, and OpenID 2.0, have also been deprecated and are scheduled to shut down.

For help on migration, consult the documentation for the APIs or ask questions about the Drive API or Admin SDK on StackOverflow.
