# GET /v2/images/collections/featured stops working

Calls to GET /v2/images/collections/featured* on Shutterstock API stopped working on February 14, 2025.

On February 14, 2025, Shutterstock removed the GET /v2/images/collections/featured* endpoints due to service deprecation. Calls to these featured collections routes now fail.

## What to use instead

Remove the deprecated calls, as featured collections have no direct replacement. What to display instead requires a product decision, though you can maintain your own curated sets using the catalog collections endpoints at GET /v2/catalog/collections.

Shutterstock retired featured collections with no replacement, so what to show instead is a product decision.
