Meta Graph API v20.0 sunset checklist

What's happening

Meta's Graph API versions table lists v20.0 (released May 21, 2024) with an expiration date of September 24, 2026. Meta expires each version roughly two years after release; once expired, calls pinned to v20.0 are automatically routed to the oldest available version or start failing, and v20-only behaviour is no longer guaranteed.

Every date on this page is taken from the vendor's own documentation, linked under “Sources” below. Dates can change — always confirm against the source before you plan.

Migration checklist

1. Grep your code and API clients for the version string v20.0 in Graph API and Marketing API request URLs.
2. Read the changelog for every version between v20.0 and your target (v21.0+) — check for removed fields, changed permissions and deprecated edges that affect your calls.
3. Upgrade to a currently-supported version, then run your integration against it in a test app before touching production.
4. Re-verify any permissions or features that required App Review; newer versions sometimes change what a given permission grants.
5. Set a recurring reminder: Meta expires versions on a rolling ~2-year cadence, so this is maintenance you'll repeat — not a one-off.
6. Cut over and confirm live traffic is on the new version before September 24, 2026.

Who's affected

Apps and services calling the Facebook / Instagram Graph API or Marketing API with requests pinned to version v20.0.
