# POST /collections/{}/points/search/groups is deprecated

Qdrant Cloud deprecated POST /collections/{id}/points/search/groups without giving a shutdown date yet.

The POST /collections/{id}/points/search/groups endpoint is deprecated without a shutdown date and fails after removal. Qdrant Cloud announced on August 5, 2026, that it has removed this legacy endpoint alongside others in favor of the unified query API introduced in version 1.10. Requests sent to this route will no longer succeed once the removal takes effect.

## What to use instead

Call POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/query/groups, the Query API, before upgrading the cluster to Qdrant 1.19, which removed this endpoint.
