API deprecation

Monitoring deprecated Web API components.

If you use custom plugins based on the plugin API or consume SonarQube Community Build services through the Web API then you will have to manage the possible API deprecations. SeeWeb API and the Plugin basics for additional information.

Monitoring the deprecated Web API components

After an update, you can check if an authenticated client of your SonarQube Community Build instance uses deprecated Web API endpoints and parameters in order to anticipate their drop. To do so, browse the deprecation log as illustrated below.

To download the deprecation log from the UI (with the Administer System permission):

1. In the top navigation bar of the SonarQube Community Build UI, select Administration > System.

2. In the top right corner of the System Info page, click Download Logs > Deprecation Logs.

You can automate the retrieval of the deprecation log information by calling the Web API endpoint api/system/logs with deprecation as the value of the name parameter.

Monitoring the deprecated Plugin API components

Check the Plugin API release notes for deprecation notes.
