Partner Deprecations

The use case

If your product integrates with platforms like Stripe, Shopify, Salesforce, or AWS, you need to know when they deprecate APIs your integration uses. Missing a deprecation deadline can break your product for every customer.

How Watch Changelog helps

Query for entries from the platforms you integrate with, then filter client-side for deprecation and breaking changes. Parse the sunset_at field to know the deadline. Set up a simple cron job to check daily.

Example workflow

1. Query GET /api/v1/entries?sources=stripe-changelog&since=2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z&limit=200 once a day, then filter client-side for entries with is_important=true or tagged deprecation
2. If a new deprecation appears, check if your integration uses the deprecated API (search your codebase for the method name)
3. If yes, create a ticket and schedule the migration before the sunset date
4. If no, log it and move on

Real example

Stripe deprecated Checkout Session mode=setup in 2023 and gave developers 12 months to migrate. Companies tracking the Stripe changelog had a year to update their integration. Companies that missed it had broken checkout flows when the deadline hit.

What to track

Filter for entries with:

• tags containing deprecation or breaking
• is_important=true
• sunset_at not null (the vendor published a deadline)
