Deprecation - v3/products/available - May 2021

Originally announced Nov-2020, updated throughout

Note: Outage windows remain subject to change, please link to this page for updates. 

It should be first noted that this API has actually been deprecated to new customers for many years and this is the final stage of our shutdown. 

As of 28-May-2021 VitalSource will discontinue this API

GET https://api.vitalsource.com/v3/products/available

VitalSource will give customers 6 months (28 weeks) notice from our original date (13-Nov-2020) to complete the transition to our newer v4/products API.

Other Customers

This is the deprecation of our unique catalog builds that exist at this API. Unless your API key is approved for this API your will receive this response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<products></products>

No payload means that you are not a currently approved user of this API and thus do not need to take part in this deprecation.

Please contact your integration manager for assistance with this migration if you have difficulties.
