# API End-of-Life Policy

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.

**note:** Version 20.0 of REST API and SOAP API have now been deprecated and are no longer supported. You can continue to access this legacy API version until Summer ’22 is released, at which point this legacy version will be retired and will become unavailable. For more information, see this Knowledge Article: [Salesforce Platform API Versions 7.0 through 20.0 Retirement](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000351312&type=1&mode=1).

**note:** Versions 21.0 through 30.0 of REST API and SOAP API will be deprecated in the Summer ’22 release. For more information, see this Knowledge Article: [Salesforce Platform API Versions 21.0 through 30.0 Retirement](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000354473&type=1&mode=1).
