API Endpoint and Subscription Classifications
| Tag | Description |
| NEW | Functionality that has been recently released. |
| BETA | Functionality that is considered to be in public beta. Developers may use these products in production environments with the understanding that all aspects of the functionality, including query parameters and response structures, are subject to change without notice. While changes are usually communicated, it is not always a guarantee based on the necessity of the change while in beta. If an unannounced breaking change would cause a significant impact to your users, consider waiting until the product is out of beta and generally available. While exploring this functionality, we encourage developers to provide feedback in the UserVoice Developer Forum. Unless otherwise noted, EventSub subscriptions that were released as a public beta will be available for 30 days after their v1 version is released. Subscriptions should be updated to v1 during this timeframe. Any active beta subscriptions beyond 30 days will be automatically deleted. |
