FAQ—Deprecating REST Snaps and Migrating to HTTP Client Snap

The REST Snap Pack from the Core Snap Pack will be deprecated in phases and will be replaced with the HTTP Client Snap.

  • Phase 1: February 11, 2025 GA release:

    • Starting on February 11, 2025, all REST Snaps are marked with the [Deprecated] label. SnapLogic will continue fixing any reported bugs.

  • Phase 2: August 13, 2025 GA release:

    • REST Snaps will not be available to add in Designer to existing and new pipelines. However, you can edit existing pipelines using REST Snaps, which will continue to execute as usual.

What are the benefits of using the HTTP Client Snap vs REST Snaps?

The HTTP Client Snap is an advanced REST Snap that combines all supported HTTP methods and offers the following benefits:

  • Efficient maintainability: A single HTTP Client Snap can be configured dynamically to handle different HTTP methods using pipeline parameters or expressions. Avoids duplication and simplifies maintenance.

  • Improved performance: Minimizes the overhead of initializing multiple Snaps. It reduces pipeline execution time by avoiding redundant processing.

  • Lower resource consumption: Fewer Snaps mean less resource consumption in SnapLogic, leading to optimized memory and CPU usage, which is beneficial for large-scale integrations.

  • Easier error handling: Handle errors in a centralized way instead of configuring error handling for multiple Snaps, making troubleshooting and debugging easier.

Can I continue to use my existing REST pipelines?

Yes, you can continue to use your existing REST pipelines. We recommend that you use the HTTP Client Snap instead of the REST Snaps to connect to REST-based APIs and applications.

How can we migrate existing pipelines with REST Snaps to the HTTP Client Snap?

SnapLogic will provide you with migration tools to automate the migration of REST Accounts and pipelines to the HTTP Client Snap.

Will the SnapLogic Support Team assist with migration issues?

Yes. If you encounter any issues while migrating, contact support@snaplogic.com.
