Credentials API V1 Removal

[mpiat...@edx.org]

Hello,

The deprecated Credentials API V1 has been removed.

The code using this service in the LMS has been updated to use API V2.

You will notice that

1. In API V1 retrieving all credentials for a program required a program_id, but in API V2 it requires a program_uuid.

2. In API V1 program_ids were returned as part of a credential, in API V2 we return program_uuids.

Questions:

Does this affect the Ficus release?

No.

Has the function of the Credentials service changed?

No, though some unused functionality around course certificates has been removed.

How does this change affect me?

If you are using an Open edX release, including Ficus, this change will not affect you until Ginkgo is released this summer.

If you are using master and want to use the credentials service, you need to set up the catalog service and use the latest LMS code that switches to use the catalog service (from the deprecated Programs service).

Thanks,

Matthew
