Back in 2013, we
launched the Google Apps Admin SDK, and later announced as a result that several outdated Apps Admin APIs would be
deprecated and shut down in April 2015. Today, we are continuing this effort of removing older, less-used functionality by announcing the deprecation of the
GData Admin Settings API. Some GData API functionality will find a replacement from an Admin SDK counterpart, while other features will be discontinued. The following table summarizes which features will be retained (and where to access replacement functionality) and which won’t:
Admin Settings API | Endpoint | Post-Deprecation Replacement (if any) |
| | |
| |
| no replacement / discontinued |
| no replacement / discontinued |
| | no replacement / discontinued |
| no replacement / discontinued |
| |
| no replacement / discontinued |
| |
| |
| All endpoints | no replacement / discontinued |
| All endpoints | no replacement from Google / any publicly available domain verification APIs can be used. |
| All endpoints | replacement API coming before Oct 2018 |
| All endpoints | no replacement / discontinued |
To summarize, the
GData Admin Settings API is being deprecated today and will remain operational until
October 31, 2018, to give developers time to migrate. On
October 31, 2018, this deprecated API will be shut down. At that time, all calls to the API and any features in your applications that depend on it will no longer work. Please migrate as soon as possible.
