Offset Pagination Deprecation

Management API

BREAKING CHANGES

This update has breaking changes. Read the full post to learn more.

As of May 15, 2024, Offset Pagination will no longer be supported for our Management APIs . V params before this date will continue to support offset pagination, but all v params after this date must use our cursor pagination method to paginate requests to the Management API. To utilize cursor pagination, users will need to use the pageToken param instead of the offset param.

Please ensure that API integrations that do not currently use cursor pagination switch to that method, or use a v param before 20240515 until ready to switch.

Updated Review Response Attribution via API

Management API - Reviews

Any new review responses created through the Yext API will not be attributed to a specific Yext user. When a review response is not attributed to a specific Yext user, authorName and authorEmail will be blank in the API response.

Specific Account Scope in Users API

Management API - Account Settings

The onType values have been updated in the Users API. The enum value “EVERYTHING” has been added which gives a user access to an account and all of its sub-accounts. “ACCOUNT” has been updated to only give access to a specific account.

Previously, “ACCOUNT” gave access to an account and all of its sub-accounts.

For brands with sub-accounts that want to give their users access to specific accounts rather than all accounts, they will need to use v param 20240515 or after.

Google Analytics Metrics No Longer Accessible

Management API - Analytics

Google legacy metrics will be inaccessible as of May 15th for all API versions. Any API calls made to fetch the following metrics will return an error response:

Google Customer Actions (Legacy): GOOGLE_CUSTOMER_ACTIONS
Google Map Views (Legacy): GOOGLE_MAP_VIEWS
