Migration Guides

SheerID platform version status. v2.0 is the current platform; earlier versions are retired.

Static Access Tokens → Applications (by August 1, 2026)

Warning: Static API Access Tokens are being retired on August 1, 2026. After that date they will stop working.

SheerID is replacing static API Access Tokens with Applications — dynamically generated OAuth 2.0 tokens (Client Credentials grant). If your integration authenticates with a static token, migrate it to request a dynamic token instead before the cutoff. See Generating Dynamic Tokens for the full walkthrough, and the Authentication overview for the recommended posture. New integrations should use dynamic tokens from the start.

Current Platform

SheerID 2.0 is our current platform and API, with self-service program management at My.SheerID.com. New integrations should use 2.0 — see Getting Started and the REST API.

Retired Versions

Our earlier integration paths — the v0.5 REST API and Legacy Hosted forms — reached end-of-life in November 2022 and are no longer maintained or recommended.

Note: If you are still running a v0.5 or Legacy Hosted integration, contact [email protected] to plan your move to 2.0.
