Slack /api/stars.* endpoint removal

Deprecated, no dateSubscribe to SlackShare

Slack deprecated /api/stars.* without giving a shutdown date yet.


Calls it hits

  • /api/stars.*

What to use instead of these calls

None: there is no API for Save it for Later; Slack recommends retiring the functionality that relies on stars.

Slack offers no replacement API, so dropping the saved-items feature is a product decision.

In Slack's words

The stars.* Web API methods will continue responding to your requests until they are retired.
