# API V3 to API V4
|
|
|
|
In GitLab 9.0 and later, API V4 is the preferred version to be used.
|
|
|
|
API V3 was unsupported from GitLab 9.5, released on August
|
|
22, 2017. API v3 was removed in [GitLab 11.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/36819).
|
|
The V3 API documentation is still
|
|
[available](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/blob/8-16-stable/doc/api/README.md).
|
|
|
|
Below are the changes made between V3 and V4.
