# /api/v1/data-sinks is deprecated

LlamaCloud API deprecated /api/v1/data-sinks* without giving a shutdown date yet.

- API: LlamaCloud API (api.cloud.llamaindex.ai)
- Kind: Endpoint removal
- Takes effect: no date given yet
- Calls after that day: fail
- Calls it hits: `/api/v1/data-sinks*`
- Source: [Announcement](https://developers.llamaindex.ai/llamaparse/cloud-index-v2/migration-v1-to-v2/)
- Page: https://www.okapi.bot/providers/llamacloud-api/breaking-changes/api-v1-data-sinks-is-deprecated/

## What to use instead

Export an Index v2 output directory to the vector store with a custom exporter (LlamaIndex's index-v2-data-sinks examples).

Index v2 cannot attach a data sink: writing to an external vector store becomes your own export job.

## LlamaCloud API's words

> Index v1 (pipelines, data sources, data sinks) is deprecated.
