What changed
Time to bail on Tools that call CircleCI's graphql-unstable API? Act. You can stay. Every request to graphql-unstable fails from January 1, 2027. Move to the V3 REST API first.
On our scale this is Act: change a setting or plan before the date. You can stay.
CircleCI ends its GraphQL Unstable API at circleci.com/graphql-unstable on January 1, 2027. After that, every request fails. CircleCI asks you to move to the V3 REST API and to upgrade the CircleCI CLI from V0 to V1. CircleCI server is not affected.

Who is affected
Integrations, scripts and tools that call it: Stop working after January 1, 2027.
The date to remember is January 1, 2027. Make the change before then.
What to do before January 1
- Find the calls. Search code and scripts for graphql-unstable.
- Map to V3. Find the V3 REST API endpoint for each query or mutation you use.
- Upgrade the CLI. Move from CircleCI CLI V0 to V1.
A few tips:
- Make the change yourself before the date. Do not wait for the last reminder email.
- Write down your current plan or settings first, so you can compare after the change.
- After the change, open your settings again and check that it worked.

If the change affects your members or team, send one short email. Say what changes for them and when. Put the most important line first.
