Question about migrating to the v1 API

[jamietanna]

I've got an integration the v0 API I'm looking to migrate to v1.

I'm currently following the following logic.

For a given Product:

• Is it currently unsupported?
  • support is a date in the past OR support is a boolean true
• Is it currently End-of-Life?
  • eol is a date in the past OR eol is a boolean true

I can see that for the new v1 API, I'd use:

• Is it currently End-of-Life?
  • isEol is a boolean true
  • eolFrom is a date in the past

But trying to clarify on:

• Is it currently unsupported?

Would it be using eoasFrom?

(thanks for moving to Discussion, wasn't sure when I raised it!)

Hi @jamietanna, almost.

support has been transformed to:

• isEoas: this answers to your question Is it currently unsupported?.
• eoasFrom : the date from which the support ends, or null if it's not known.

This is similar with eol, which has been transformed to isEol and eolFrom.

Note that not all products have an "active support" phase (where the as come from in eoas). If there is no active support phase the fields isEoas/eoasFrom are absent.

But all products have an EOL phase, so you can be sure isEol is always set. eolFrom may be null if it's not known though.

I have written a changelog where you can see some more details about what changed between the two API versions: https://github.com/endoflife-date/endoflife.date/blob/master/CHANGELOG_API.md. It could lack details though, so don't hesitate if it's not clear enough.

Does this answers your questions ?

Sorry for the delay, just gotten back around to this - yes that did solve it, and thanks for the link to the API changelog, super helpful!

Could someone please advise what EOAS stands for?

It's not explicitly called out in https://endoflife.date/docs/api/v1/ but it is explained more there
