API compatibility question
Does anyone know if there is a list or website available where one can see for how long a REST API is supported ?
On the following webpage https://dev.onedrive.com/README.htm , i've found the following section:
OneDrive will continue to evolve and gain additional functionality. The API path includes a version number to protect your app against breaking changes. When a breaking change is required, the API version number will be incremented. Existing apps calling the original version number will remain unaffected by the change. See the Microsoft Graph support policy for information about how long a version of the API is supported.
example:
So if i'm developing something on top of Graph API and microsoft changes the API, how long is it guaranteed that my code still works with the previous API ?

No Information ?
The Reason for my concern is for example this:
"....that the PowerShell cmdlets related to deprecating APIs within the Office 365 Reporting Web Service will also be retired October 1, 2017."
This sentence was part of the announcement reg the new graph api usage reports:
so i'm wondering if this is the usual way (6 months notice) to retire old scripts/api's or if this was just an unusual example where partners/customers has to modify their code in order to keep it working with the new APIs
thoughts are welcome!
thx
