# v1 to v2

> If you have been working with the standard v1.1 POST lists/create, POST lists/destroy, and POST. Reference for the Enterprise X API tier covering migrate.

### Manage Lists: Standard v1.1 compared to X API v2

If you have been working with the standard v1.1 [POST lists/create](https://developer.x.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/accounts-and-users/create-manage-lists/api-reference/post-lists-create), [POST lists/destroy](https://developer.x.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/accounts-and-users/create-manage-lists/api-reference/post-lists-destroy), and [POST lists/update](https://developer.x.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/accounts-and-users/create-manage-lists/api-reference/post-lists-update) endpoints, the goal of this guide is to help you understand the similarities and differences between the standard v1.1 and X API v2 manage List endpoints.

* **Similarities**
  * Authentication
* **Differences**
  * Endpoint URLs
  * App and Project requirements
  * HTTP methods
  * Rate limits
  * Request parameters

#### Similarities

**Authentication**

Both endpoint versions support [OAuth 1.0a User Context](https://developer.x.com/content/developer-twitter/resources/fundamentals/authentication). Therefore, if you were previously using one of the standard v1.1 manage Lists endpoints, you can continue using the same authentication method if you migrate to the X API v2 version.

#### Differences

**Endpoint URLs**

* Standard v1.1 endpoints:
  * POST [https://api.x.com/1.1/lists/create.json](https://api.x.com/1.1/lists/create.json)
    (Creates a List)
  * POST [https://api.x.com/1.1/lists/destroy.json](https://api.x.com/1.1/lists/destroy.json)
    (Deletes a List)
  * POST [https://api.x.com/1.1/lists/update.json](https://api.x.com/1.1/lists/update.json)
    (Updates a List)
* X API v2 endpoint:
  * POST [https://api.x.com/2/lists](https://api.x.com/2/lists)
    (Creates a List)

  * DELETE [https://api.x.com/2/lists/:id](https://api.x.com/2/lists/:id)
    (Deletes a List)

  * PUT [https://api.x.com/2/lists/:id](https://api.x.com/2/lists/:id)
    (Updates a List)

**Rate limits**

| **Standard v1.1**                       | **X API v2**                                                                           |
| :-------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| /1.1/lists/create.json<br /><br />none  | /2/lists<br /><br />300 requests per 15-minute window with OAuth 1.0a User Context     |
| /1.1/lists/destroy.json<br /><br />none | /2/lists/:id<br /><br />300 requests per 15-minute window with OAuth 1.0a User Context |
| /1.1/lists/update.json<br /><br />none  | /2/lists/:id<br /><br />300 requests per 15-minute window with OAuth 1.0a User Context |

**App and Project requirements**

The X API v2 endpoints require that you use credentials from a [developer App](/resources/fundamentals/developer-apps) associated with a [Project](/resources/fundamentals/developer-apps) when authenticating your requests. All X API v1.1 endpoints can use credentials from Apps or Apps related to a project.

**Request parameters**

The following standard v1.1 request parameters have equivalents in X API v2:

**Create a List**

| **Standard** | **X API v2** |
| :----------- | :----------- |
| name         | name         |
| mode         | private      |
| description  | description  |

**Delete/Update a List**

| **Standard**        | **X API v2**  |
| :------------------ | :------------ |
| owner\_screen\_name | No equivalent |
| owner\_id           | No equivalent |
| list\_id            | id            |
| slug                | No equivalent |

<Note>
  **Please note:** Standard v1.1 parameters are passed as query parameters, whereas the X API v2 parameters are passed as body parameters (for the POST endpoint) or path parameters (for the DELETE and PUT endpoints).

## Code examples

### Create a List (v2)

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/lists" \
    -H "Authorization: OAuth ..." \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
