  Deprecated APIs

The following Square APIs are deprecated:

• Employees - replaced by the Team API. For more information, see Migrate from the Employees API.

• Transactions - replaced by the Orders and Payments APIs. For more information, see Migrate from the Transactions API.

Usage Notes for V1 Transactions

The Square API supersedes the legacy Connect V1 APIs. Square strongly discourages using Connect V1 for most use cases. However, you must still use Connect V1 for listing settlements and listing payments. For more information, see When to Use Connect V1.

In the Square Java SDK, the V1TransactionsApi class provides ListSettlements and ListPayments for accessing these Connect V1 endpoints. However, Square has identified an issue that prevents these methods from returning results. There is no workaround for this issue.

If you need to use List settlements or List payments, you should send HTTP GET requests directly to these Connect V1 endpoints. The response body consists of a JSON list of objects, which you can process as needed.

You'll also need to provide logic to handle paginated results. For more information, see Pagination in Connect V1.
