Deprecations and Sunsets

This article provides a reference for deprecated APIs and exposes BigCommerce's plans to sunset specific API operations and properties. We recommend setting up a feed alert for our Developer Changelog to receive the most up-to-date information about API changes. For more information on how to set up a feed alert, see changelog.

Deprecations

The following APIs, features, and tools are deprecated. We discourage using these listed items, as BigCommerce either no longer supports them or won't be providing additional support or new features. Instead, consider using the suggested replacements.

`/v2/option_sets`	Catalog V3 Product Modifiers, Catalog V3 Product Variant Options. The `option_sets` endpoint is intentionally not available in the V3 Catalog API. For more information, see V2 vs V3 Catalog APIs.
`/v2/pages`	Pages V3

In V3, modifiers attach directly to products and options attach to variants. Use options and modifiers together to access the contents of the former V2 options response.
