API Release Notes, March 2026

New This Month

Now Available: API Deprecation Headers

For APIs in deprecation, responses will include an x-api-warn header that identifies the deprecated endpoint and its recommended replacement. A sunset header will specify the planned decommission date and include a link to additional deprecation details, in compliance with SAP API policies. This has been applied to both API and UI gateways. For example:

  • x-api-warn: ‘/api/v3.1/travelrequest/’ is deprecated; use ‘/travelrequest/v4/’. See ‘https://developer.concur.com/tools-support/release-notes/api/archive/2023-01-05.html’ for details.

  • sunset: Sun, 01 Mar 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Preview: GET Participant of an Existing Request in Request v4

The Request v4 API will enable customers and partners to better manage their Budget request experience through Concur Request web services. Enhancements will include capabilities to view and manage Participants on a Parent Request, as well as related improvements to existing endpoints.

Overview

The Request v4 API will include a Participants area and two additional endpoints, as follows:

  • View Participants and Related Child Requests: Customers and partners will be able to retrieve the list of participants associated with a Parent request, along with the child requests linked to it.

  • Manage Participants: Customers and partners will be able to add and remove participants on a Parent request.

Updates to Existing Request v4 API Behavior

  • Request Policies for a User: Policy responses will indicate whether a given policy supports creating Parent requests (Budget requests).

  • Create a Request: The request creation process will support the following Budget request scenarios:

    – Creating a Parent Request using an eligible policy

    – Creating a Child Request and linking it to an existing parent request

  • Get Request Details: Request details will indicate whether the request is Parent or Child. For Child requests, the response will also include a reference to the related Parent request.

Configuration / Feature Activation

The Request v4 APIs will be available for users of both Professional and Standard versions of Concur Request. For additional information, refer to the Request v4 API documentation.

Decommissioning of Launch External URL V1

Effective Date: June 3, 2026

The Launch External URL V1 callout API, deprecated in June 2023, will be shut down and no longer accessible upon decommissioning on June 3, 2026. To ensure continued functionality and reliability, all customers must migrate to Launch External URL V4, which provides full functional equivalence with no known gaps. Please reach out to your SAP Concur representative for more information.

Ongoing

Important! Upcoming Shutdown of Request V1, V3, and V3.1

As previously announced, the Concur Request APIs v1.0, v3.0, and v3.1 have been decommissioned. These versions will be retired and no longer accessible as of August 5, 2026. Customers currently using these versions must migrate to the successor API, Request API V4, to ensure uninterrupted functionality. Please reach out to your Concur representative for more information.

Preview: Removal of concur.profile and concur.app Fields from Access Tokens(JWTs)

Two fields will be removed from Access Tokens (JWTs) and ID Tokens: concur.profile and concur.app. These fields currently contain fully formed URLs pointing to Profile v1 resources, for example:

  • https://integration.api.concursolutions.com/profile/v1/principals/
  • https://integration.api.concursolutions.com/profile/v1/apps/

These fields are being removed because the referenced URLs are no longer valid following the transition from Profile V1 to Profile v4. Also, these URLs were provided for convenience only and can be constructed using other information available in the JWT.

Target Dates

  • Removal from Integration environments — week of March 23
  • Removal from Production environments — week of April 6

Required Action

If your integration consumes either the concur.profile or concur.app fields from a JWT, update your implementation to remove this dependency by forming the necessary URL directly in your code.
