# /api/stars.* is deprecated

Slack deprecated /api/stars.* without giving a shutdown date yet.

## What to use instead

None: there is no API for Save it for Later; Slack recommends retiring the functionality that relies on stars.

Slack offers no replacement API, so dropping the saved-items feature is a product decision.

- API: Slack (slack.com)
- Kind: Endpoint removal
- Announced: July 31, 2023
- Takes effect: no date given yet
- Calls after that day: fail
- Calls it hits: `/api/stars.*`
- Source: [Announcement](https://docs.slack.dev/changelog/2023-07-its-later-already-for-stars-and-reminders)
- Verified: November 6, 2026, against Slack's own pages
