Breaking changes for February 5th, 2024

[nateswart]

What’s changing:

To help protect shoppers’ privacy, we’re putting some additional limits on the buyer info we share via the Etsy API. We’ve reviewed this info carefully to ensure we limit the impact on developers and sellers. Starting February 5, 2024 we’ll limit access to buyer email addresses shared via our endpoints.

What this change means for you:

Any developers impacted by this change will receive an email from Etsy later today. We are also notifying active users of all impacted applications that this change is being made.

This change will not impact your API key’s ability to leverage the Etsy API. It will only affect if the buyer_email address field is returned in the responses of the endpoints. If your application is not authorized to access this field, the endpoint will still return responses as normal, without this field being present in the response.
