What is the best practice for phasing out a widely used API?

  • Gradually phase out the API, supporting it for an extended period, and guiding users toward adopting newer versions or alternatives.
  • Ignore the API and let users find alternatives on their own.
  • Provide no guidance or support during the deprecation process.
  • Stop supporting the API immediately to force users to migrate quickly.
The best practice for phasing out a widely used API involves a gradual approach, continued support, and guidance for users to transition smoothly. Abruptly ending support may disrupt services for users and create dissatisfaction.
