# Bulk API End-of-Life Policy

See which Bulk API versions are supported, unsupported, or unavailable.

Salesforce is committed to supporting each API version for a minimum of 3 years from the date of first release. To improve the quality and performance of the API, versions that are over 3 years old sometimes are no longer supported.

Salesforce notifies customers who use an API version scheduled for deprecation at least 1 year before support for the version ends.

If you request any resource or use an operation from a retired API version, REST API returns the `410:GONE` error code.

If you request any resource or use an operation from a retired API version, SOAP API returns `500:UNSUPPORTED_API_VERSION` error code.

To identify requests made from old or unsupported API versions, use the [API Total Usage](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_eventlogfile_apitotalusage.htm) event type.
