In August 2016, we announced the deprecation and future shutdown of the GData Admin Settings API. Based on customer feedback, we’ve decided to delay that shutdown until October 31st, 2018. 

Some GData Admin Settings API functionality will be replaced with an Admin SDK counterpart, while other features will be discontinued. The following table summarizes which features will be retained (and where to access replacement functionality), and which won’t:

Admin Settings API	Endpoint	Post-deprecation replacement (if any)
General settings	/defaultLanguage	Directory API: Customers
	/organizationName	Directory API: Customers
	/currentNumberOfUsers	no replacement / discontinued
	/maximumNumberOfUsers	no replacement / discontinued
Account settings	/accountInformation/supportPIN	no replacement / discontinued
	/accountInformation/customerPIN	no replacement / discontinued
	/accountInformation/adminSecondaryEmail	Directory API: Customers
	/accountInformation/edition	no replacement / discontinued
	/accountInformation/creationTime	Directory API: Customers
	/accountInformation/countryCode	Directory API: Customers
Appearance settings	All endpoints	no replacement / discontinued
Verification settings	All endpoints	no replacement from Google / any publicly available domain verification APIs can be used
Single Sign-on (SSO) settings	All endpoints	replacement API coming by October 31st, 2018
Gateway and routing settings	All endpoints	no replacement / discontinued

To summarize, the GData Admin Settings API has been deprecated but will remain operational until October 31st, 2018, to give developers time to migrate. On October 31st, 2018, this deprecated API will be shut down. At that time, all calls to the API and any features in your applications that depend on it will no longer work. Please migrate as soon as possible.
