# GET /api/capabilities is deprecated

OpenStreetMap API deprecated GET /api/capabilities without giving a shutdown date yet.

The unversioned GET /api/capabilities endpoint has been deprecated without a shutdown date. Calls made to this route fail under this removal. Developers relying on this endpoint will need to update their integrations to avoid disruptions.

## What to use instead

Check the available versions with GET /api/versions, then call GET /api/0.6/capabilities.
