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.
