Overview
Comparing X API’s Lists endpoints
The v2 manage Lists endpoints will eventually replace POST lists/create, POST lists/destroy, and POST lists/update. If you have code, apps, or tools that use an older version of these endpoints and are considering migrating to the newer X API v2, then this guide is for you.
