> - [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/212318) to [GitLab Core](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) in 13.5.
CAUTION: **Deprecation:**
This API is deprecated and [scheduled for removal in GitLab 14.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213369). Use [this API](feature_flags.md) instead.
