What is happening? The legacy Open Data API, version 2, is currently running with critical issue support only; future development or fixes will not be implemented. At the end of 2020, the underlying infrastructure will no longer be supported by the vendor. Version 3 of the Open Data API is live with a subset of existing data sets. As we have committed to serving authorized and authoritative data, not all version 2 endpoints will be replaced.
What do I need to do? You are encouraged to test and make the switch to version 3 as soon as possible. Version 3 will add several additional endpoints for which authoritative data exists, including news, events, and blogs.
