When are JQL search endpoints /rest/api/2/search and /rest/api/3/search really being removed?

[Sebastien Brion]

According to this changelog entry, the /rest/api/2/search and /rest/api/3/search endpoints will be removed on May 1st, 2025.

Those endpoints are still working, but I'm wondering how much time we really have to get off them. I'm not seeing any other announcement in the changelog.

(This was already asked as a follow-up on this resolved question)

We got this answer from Atlassian Support in a Jira support ticket:

I took a look at our documentation and found the following timeline. Please note, although this is the most up-to-date timeline we have, it can certainly change if anything unexpected happens:

Here is a summary of the timeline:

* Deprecation Period May 1st: Endpoints are officially deprecated, however, they continue to remain functional.

* Transition Period: From May 5, 2025, to July 31, 2025, JSIS will be rolled out under the hood for old APIs, improving performance but introducing eventual consistency.

* Final Shutdown: From August 1, 2025, to October 31, 2025, the deprecated APIs will be progressively shut down, with all traffic blocked by the end of October 2025. Any requests to these endpoints will return errors (e.g., "410 Gone").

Hi @Sebastien Brion as we're well past May 1st, I figured it would be worth it if Atlassian Support could assist with getting an answer for you.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. We did this and got a response.
