The thread Official List of Deprecated Web Endpoints used to be open for user comments in the past. We moved these user comments out to this archive to make the main staff posts on the announcement more visible.

Some general notes:
If you can find an endpoint which suits your needs on one of the sites above, use that instead of a similar endpoint on www. Also, if you can find an endpoint on one of sites mentioned in the first paragraph, use that over api.roblox.com.
In addition, www obviously has endpoints but we don’t publish documentation for them.
It would be great if there was a way we could use a search API for people, groups, and etc.
You should always assume that deprecated endpoints can randomly disappear overnight.
I’ve also found:
https://friends.roblox.com/docs
I’m not entirely sure if that one is intended for devs, considering it has something to do with matching by phone numbers…
:connect() > :Connect(), it looks so much nicer. Its pretty safe too, I reallllllly doubt they’d remove it. It’d be like removing Workspace so we could only use workspace, as workspace is the one thats offically supported.
Can I ask… how is :connect a web endpoint?
There’s no immediate deprecations as a resultant or cause of this thread right?
Can we maybe get a list of endpoints, deprecated or not, so that we know what’s on the table?
It was worth a shot.
RIP, literally every script I’ve ever written uses :connect()
As a general recommendation, try to use endpoints from the API sites @BAUER102 listed above. They are more stable than endpoints on www.roblox.com. They also have better documentation, which is a bonus
I’ve switched to using :Connect as it just makes more sense to use the same case-format everywhere. Like DeepBlue said, I doubt they’ll remove it so I guess you can do what you want
Does this mean deprecate as in it will be removed at some point, or deprecate as in we shouldn’t be using it and they won’t be maintained?
Make sure to read (at the very least…) the title of threads you’re posting in – “deprecated web endpoints”. This does not affect the API in-engine.
Can we not use IsFriendsWith, IsInGroup, GetGroupRank, or GetGroupRole anymore?
@EchoReaper would love to watch this post. I saw him posting a couple of times about endpoints on Development Support before.
They didn’t list any, so I would presume no.
Talking about web endpoints, could it be possible to add something to grab all the transactions of a group?
It could be quite helpful to those trying to map old data before adding a system to do so (Analytics data) or with those who haven’t done that yet.
