Support for the various APIs

Hello there… first I wanted to be sure to commend the entire SuiteCRM development team on an absolutely fantastic product! I was wondering though, what plans are there to sunset support of API v2, v3, and v4? With SugarCRM and SuiteCRM both going to their own different versions of “modern” REST API support… this marks a potentially major milestone in the compatibility between the two code bases. So that said, how long will the common APIs still be supported by SuiteCRM?

Thanks so much for your considered response

Hi, thanks.

The older API’s are there, though we don’t really support them anymore, they’re static. They will be removed when SuiteCRM 8 comes out.

There’s no way that is future-proof except going with API v8. It will also be present in the LTS versions (7.10 for example).

It is possible that this will have another small iteration (8.1) before SuiteCRM 8 comes out.

We are not trying to keep in sync with SugarCRM, and I don’t know if they have plans to keep in sync with us :wink:
