# POST /v1beta/findall/candidates is deprecated

Parallel API deprecated POST /v1beta/findall/candidates without giving a shutdown date yet.

The provider deprecated the POST /v1beta/findall/candidates endpoint without a shutdown date. This change affects calls to POST /v1beta/findall/candidates, which served as a deprecated alias for another path. Requests to this endpoint eventually fail.

## What to use instead

Call POST /v1beta/findall/entity-search instead.

- API: Parallel API (api.parallel.ai)
- Kind: Endpoint removal
- Takes effect: no date given yet
- Calls after that day: fail
- Calls it hits: `POST /v1beta/findall/candidates`

- Verified: October 26, 2026, against Parallel API's own pages
