API Upgrade

Workiva has announced that several APIs currently used by FHB will begin deprecation in January, with full retirement targeted for October 1, 2027. To ensure uninterrupted service, continued support, and access to enhanced capabilities, we are proactively upgrading our system to use the newer API versions. 

This upgrade is part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a secure, reliable, and future-ready technology environment for our clients. 

What Is Changing? 

Workiva is retiring certain older version APIs and replacing them with an updated, modern API structure.  

The older APIs were originally released to support early functionality; the newer APIs represent fully supported, stable, and strategically aligned services, which will enable FHB to continue innovating for our clients.  

FHB will work with clients throughout 2026 to move from the older API endpoints to the newer version ahead of the October 1, 2027 retirement date. 

Why We Are Making This Upgrade

We are making this change for two primary reasons:

Vendor Requirement
Workiva is formally deprecating the older API versions beginning this January, with full retirement scheduled for October 1, 2027. Continuing to use deprecated API versions would eventually result in service disruptions.

Risk Mitigation
Upgrading now allows for a smooth, controlled transition instead of a last-minute migration closer to the retirement date. 

Benefits of the Upgrade 

This transition provides several important benefits: 

New Features: The modern API platform includes new, more capable APIs that streamline developer calls, increase functionality, and better support enterprise-scale use. 

Ongoing Vendor Support: The new APIs will receive ongoing updates and long-term support, ensuring faster issue resolution and future sustainability. 

Future Compatibility: Moving to the newer API platform ensures alignment with Workiva enhancements and new capabilities as they are released. 

Reduced Operational Risk: Adopting the updated APIs well before the October 1, 2027 retirement date eliminates risks associated with using outdated endpoints.
