# The Ad Insight SOAP API stops working

Calls to /Api/* on Microsoft Advertising Ad Insight API stop working on January 31, 2027.

On January 31, 2027, Microsoft Advertising will retire the Ad Insight SOAP API. Calls to the /Api/* endpoints will fail after this date. This retirement affects all requests made to the SOAP endpoints on adinsight.api.bingads.microsoft.com.

## What to use instead

Migrate your calls to the Ad Insight REST API at the newer endpoints. Alternatively, upgrade the .NET or Java SDK to version 13.0.22 or later, or switch from the Python or PHP bingads package to msads.

## Microsoft Advertising Ad Insight API's words

> The SOAP API is scheduled for full deprecation on January 31, 2027. We recommend migrating to REST as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition and avoid disruption when SOAP is deprecated.
