## Standard v1.1 compared to X API v2

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

### Similarities

**Authentication**

Both the standard v1.1 and X API v2 manage Posts ([POST statuses/update](https://developer.x.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/tweets/post-and-engage/api-reference/post-statuses-update) and [POST statuses/destroy/:id](https://developer.x.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/tweets/post-and-engage/api-reference/post-statuses-destroy-id)) endpoints use [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 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:
  * [https://api.x.com/1.1/statuses/update.json](https://api.x.com/1.1/statuses/update.json)
    (Creates a Post)
  * `https://api.x.com/1.1/statuses/destroy/:id.json`
    (Deletes a Post)
* X API v2 endpoint:
  * [https://api.x.com/2/tweets](https://api.x.com/2/tweets)
    (Creates a Post)
  * [https://api.x.com/2/tweets/:id](https://api.x.com/2/tweets/:id)
    (Deletes a specified Post)

### App and Project requirements

The X API v2 endpoints require that you use credentials from a [developer App](/resources/fundamentals/developer-apps) that is associated to a [Project](/resources/fundamentals/developer-apps) when authenticating your requests.
