# The Legacy Marketing Campaigns Contacts API is deprecated

SendGrid API deprecated /v3/contactdb/* without giving a shutdown date yet.

- API: SendGrid API (api.sendgrid.com)
- Kind: Endpoint removal
- Takes effect: no date given yet
- Calls after that day: fail
- Calls it hits: `/v3/contactdb/*`
- Source: [Announcement](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sendgrid/api-reference/contacts-api-recipients/add-recipients)

## What to use instead

Manage contacts and lists with the Marketing Campaigns Contacts API (/v3/marketing/contacts, /v3/marketing/lists).

The new Marketing Campaigns keeps its own contacts, lists and senders; moving means migrating them, not only the calls.
