POST /posts.json → endpoint removal
Discourse API
Deprecated, no date
The body parameter target_usernames on the POST /posts.json endpoint has been deprecated without a shutdown date. Calls continuing to rely on this parameter will eventually fail once it is removed. The provider notes that it is deprecated in favor of an alternate recipient field.
