# The Reporting SOAP API stops working

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

On January 31, 2027, the Microsoft Advertising Reporting SOAP API will be fully deprecated. Requests sent to the /Api/* endpoints will fail after this date.

## What to use instead

Call the Reporting REST API instead. Alternatively, upgrade the .NET or Java SDK to 13.0.22 or later, or migrate from the Python or PHP bingads package to msads.

## Microsoft Advertising Reporting 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.
