# /api/v1/data-sinks is deprecated

LlamaCloud API deprecated /api/v1/data-sinks* without giving a shutdown date yet.

The /api/v1/data-sinks* endpoints are deprecated as part of the phase-out of Index v1, with no shutdown date announced. Calls to these routes will eventually fail once the deprecation completes. Developers using these endpoints should review their integrations to prepare for the transition away from Index v1.

## What to use instead

Index v2 cannot attach a data sink directly, so writing to an external vector store becomes your own export job. To migrate, export an Index v2 output directory to the vector store with a custom exporter based on LlamaIndex's index-v2-data-sinks examples.

Index v2 cannot attach a data sink: writing to an external vector store becomes your own export job.
