## Breaking change notices

## Help API removed

All dynamic and non-dynamic API endpoints within Itential Platform are now fully compliant with OpenAPI 3.0 specifications. The `GET /help/api/json` endpoint that supported in-app API documentation has been removed and replaced with `GET /help/openapi`.

### What should I do?

Update all API keys and HTTP/HTTPS clients to use the new `help/openapi` specification.

## Status API removed

The `GET /status` API has been removed and replaced with `/health/status`, which reports the health of all apps and adapters.

### What should I do?

Review any custom apps and adapters that reference the `/status` API and update them to use `/health/status`.
