# Legacy Grafana HTTP API

> Note
> 
> Starting in Grafana 13, `/api` endpoints are being deprecated in favor of the `/apis` route. Note that while Grafana is working on migrating existing APIs, currently there may not be an exact match to the legacy API you’re using.
> 
> **This change doesn’t disrupt or break your current setup**. Legacy APIs are not being disabled and remain fully accessible and operative, but `/api` routes will no longer be updated.
> 
> To learn more refer to the [new API structure in Grafana](/docs/grafana/next/developer-resources/api-reference/http-api/apis/).
