Migration guide for deprecated fields
Learn how to migrate your apps to handle deprecated fields
Release date
Changes will be live on October 10th 2022. All deprecated endpoints and fields will be removed from the REST API.
Response headers
Deprecated endpoints return the following response headers:
Deprecated: trueandSunset: 10 October 2022 00:00:00 UTC.
A note on video game–specific endpoints
Video game–specific endpoints will be deprecated in the same fashion as the generic one. These endpoints are not listed here to keep the list clean.
In practice, this means that any change to a /resource endpoint will also affect all /{videogame}/resource endpoints, eg. /csgo/resource, /dota2/resource, etc.
Deprecated endpoints
The following endpoints are currently deprecated and will be entirely removed from the API on 10 October 2022:
| Deprecated endpoints |
|---|
/series/{series_id_or_slug}/players |
/tournaments/{tournament_id_or_slug}/players |
Video game–specific endpoints
Keep in mind that video game–specific endpoints will also be removed.
Migration guide
To retrieve the list of players from a tournament, we recommend using the Get a tournament rosters endpoint.
Using the list of team rosters, you can aggregate the complete list of players by concatenating all players array.
For more information on tournaments participants, see tournaments in-depth.
Why this change?
Tournament rosters is central to our API design. Endpoints like
/tournaments/:id/playersand/series/:id/playersencourage alternative usages that can lead to knowledge gaps in the community.
