Update to the Forecast API

What is changing?

‘Milestones’ and ‘phases’ are becoming two separate entities in the Forecast API, rather than being used synonymously. Previously, it was necessary to utilize the ‘milestone’ endpoints to create, retrieve, update and delete project phases.  

The old ‘milestone’ endpoints have been deprecated, whilst the functionality has been migrated to the equivalent ‘phases’ endpoints.

Visit Forecast’s API Documentation to learn more about using the ‘phase’ endpoint to update project phases. 

How will this affect me?

The new ‘phases’ endpoint will work the same as when using the ‘milestone’ endpoint. The old ‘milestone’ endpoint is now deprecated and will no longer be maintained. It will be fully removed on Oct 10th 2022, which means the API requests will fail unless you’ve updated the request URL.

What do I need to do?

Update all request URLs you use to manage phases in the Forecast API by replacing ‘milestones’ with ‘phases’, as soon as possible. 

For example, the request URL:

https://api.forecast.it/api/v1/projects/{projectId}/milestones

becomes

https://api.forecast.it/api/v1/projects/{projectId}/phases
