API 2.0 is not supported for communities using the Aurora framework. While some endpoints may still respond, the data returned can be incomplete, inaccurate, or entirely broken due to incompatibilities with Aurora’s data model.
Why This Matters
API 2.0 was built for the Classic data schema and does not account for structural changes introduced with Aurora. As a result:
- Certain endpoints (e.g.,
/api/2.0/search) may fail due to unexpected data shapes or null values. - Responses may appear valid but return outdated, partial, or incorrect data.
- Continued use of API 2.0 on Aurora is not safe for production environments.
What to Use Instead
To ensure stability and data accuracy, update your existing endpoints to a supported alternative:
- API 2.1 – A RESTful API version designed for Aurora compatibility.
- GraphQL (GQL) – Offers greater query flexibility and long-term support.
What You Should Do
- Audit your integrations for any use of
/api/2.0/endpoints. These should be changed to reflect the new version number2.1in the URL. For example:/api/2.1/search. - Update those endpoints to API 2.1 or GraphQL as soon as possible.
