> **Description:** Details about API and platform updates for November 2019, including new features, improvements, and important changes to Vipps services.

# Technical update Nov 2019

## Vipps eCom v1 API to be phased out 2020-06-01

The eCom API v1 was superseded by the eCom v2 API around two years ago.
The eCom v2 API has all the functionality of eCom v1, and there is no reason
for not upgrading to eCom v2.

## Vipps InApp API to be phased out 2019-12-31

This was communicated in July, but we mention it again, just in case.

## API products: Vipps API

Vipps has previously had separate API keys for each API product, and a set of API keys were
directly linked to one sales unit. This meant that customers needed to keep track of
multiple API keys, and that access to a new API required a new sales unit.

This is no longer the case: The *Vipps-API* product gives access to all current APIs,
and the API keys for the Vipps eCom v1 and v2 APIs have been "upgraded" to include the
same APIs as Vipps API.

See more details [in Getting Started](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/getting-started.md).

## API lifecycle

We are working on this, and the current version/draft is
[available on GitHub](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/knowledge-base/api-lifecycle.md).

## Developer pages

New developer pages, in addition to [GitHub](https://github.com/vippsas),
are available at (*previous link is no longer available* - see [technical documentation](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/)).

## Status page for test and production

We will soon launch status pages. See [Status pages](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/knowledge-base/status-pages.md).

## Further plans

We are working on more developer resources, including a data API and
a developer dashboard. We cannot provide any dates yet, but we
welcome input.
