Right. The only thing that anyone is likely to notice is old programs/services that relied on the old API and aren’t being updated.
 
Fun fact: I both work on the site’s code and am an external developer.

Is there a new way to get the artist tags of a user?
My current work flow to get images of an artist which uses my site:
  1. Artist enters api Key on my website.
  2. Get uploader_id from first found image.
  3. get all artist tags (‘links’ => ‘tag_id’)
I can see ways to replace 2 and 6, but currently 4 doesn’t seem possible with the new API. Or will the .json way to get infos be kept alive?
 
Looking back at this, I’m wondering if making /api/v1/json/profiles an endpoint in and of itself that returns a user’s profile if an APIkey is given.

In my routine I only need it once to get the artist tags and save them, so it shouldn‘t be a noticeable overhead. The artist has to at least upload one picture here themselves, but who wants to link to derpibooru when they aren’t active here?
 
In general there are probably more use cases where someone wants to validate a profile ownership. But in that case a real oauth possibility would work better than a static api key.

Yeah, we’ve been talking a little about what auth methods to go ahead with. oAuth would be my preference, but we’re also investigating supporting username/password login too.
 
No clue where exactly it’s going, but making the API capable of doing everything the user-side of the site can do is a definite target (for app development reasons).

so it could probably be any type of picture, video, gif, or videos made with webm that might by made with them at random?!

You sure it’s just gonna shut down the third party apps and programs of the old api without doing that annoying thing of glitching up and taking people’s pics, vids, gifs, and webm videos on said time?

We’ve rigged the old API to aggressively contact every program that ever made a request to it and proceed to wipe every image (and associated metadata) from any device connected and crawl throughout any other connected device though aggressive network snooping. Our goal with deprecating the old API is a complete annihilation of every trace of the fandom pre-2020 so long as it’s connected to the internet.
 
I’d suggest permanently disconnecting your router if you want to avoid The Cleansing.
