API Deprecation Status | eBay Developers Program

The table below lists the API capabilities that are deprecated and scheduled for decommission.

API	Method(s)/Field(s)	Deprecation Date	Decommission Date	Notes
Trading API	Store.SubscriptionLevel field returned in the GetStore call.	2022/09/30	2023/03/23	This field is deprecated and will stop being returned beginning on March 31, 2023. The getSubscription method of the Account API can be used to retrieve information on a seller's eBay store subscription.
Marketing API	Multiple value support for the fundingModels array of the createReportTask method Support for specific metric keys used in Transaction reports	2022/09/30	2023/04/03	The fundingModels array of the createReportTask method will stop supporting multiple values. During the deprecation period, a warning response header will be returned. After decommission date arrives, using multiple values in fundingModels array will be a blocking error. Transaction reports will stop supporting the following metric keys: impressions, clicks, ctr, avg_cost_per_sale, pl_transactions, cpc_impressions, cpc_clicks, cpc_ctr, cpc_conversion_rate, cpc_return_on_ad_spend, cpc_avg_cost_per_sale, cpc_transactions, cpc_ad_fees_listingsite_currency, cpc_ad_fees_payout_currency, cost_per_click. During the deprecation period, a warning response header will be returned specifically calling out these deprecated metrics.
Trading API	AddDispute AddDisputeResponse DisableUnpaidItemAssistance GetDispute GetUserDisputes SellerReverseDispute	2022/09/19	2023/01/31	These six Dispute calls in the Trading API are deprecated and are scheduled for decommission on January 31, 2023. The DisableUnpaidItemAssistance, AddDisputeResponse, and SellerReverseDispute calls do not have alternative APIs to use since the Unpaid Item Assistant feature and Unpaid Item cases are deprecated. However, there is a page in Selling Preferences in My eBay that allows a seller to cancel and relist any items that have not been paid for after a specified amount of days. There are REST API equivalents for the other three calls as follows: AddDispute: Use the Create Cancellation Request method of the Post-Order API to make an order cancellation request. GetDispute: Use the Get Cancellation method of the Post-Order API to retrieve details on a specific cancellation request. GetUserDisputes: Use the Search Cancellations method of the Post-Order API to search for cancellation requests using a variety of search filters.
Trading API	GetApiAccessRules	2022/08/22	2023/03/10	GetApiAccessRules is deprecated and is scheduled for decommission on March 10, 2023. Starting on August 22, 2022, this call will only return the ApplicationAggregate container, and no usage data on specific Trading calls. Going forward, we recommend that you make plans to migrate to the Developer Analytics API, an API that retrieves all usage data on all RESTful APIs and the Trading API.
Business Policies Management API	All	2021/03/23	TBD	The Business Policies Management API is deprecated and is scheduled for decommission in 2022. We recommend that you migrate to the fulfillment_policy, payment_policy, and return_policy resources of the Account API to set up and manage all of your fulfillment, payment, and return business policies.
Finding API	findCompletedItems	2020/10/15	TBD	The findCompletedItems call is deprecated as of October 15, 2020, and access is restricted. An alternative to the findCompletedItems call is the Marketplace Insights API, but please note that this API is restricted and requires eBay Business approval for access. Please contact the Developer Technical Support team if you are interested in getting access to the Marketplace Insights API.
