API End-of-Life Policy

Check out the policy for retiring API versions, and which Streaming API versions are supported, deprecated, or retired.

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.

Streaming API Versions Version Support Status Version Retirement Info
Versions 37.0 through 65.0 Supported.
Versions 23.0 through 36.0 Streaming API was introduced in API version 23.0. As of Winter ’25, versions 23.0 through 36.0 are no longer available.

If a client connects using a retired API version, the system routes the request to the latest API version.
