## Example input

```json
{
  "families": [
    "claude-sonnet"
  ],
  "maxResults": 5,
  "itemsPerQuery": 3
}
```

## Choose this tool

AI application owners maintaining migration inventories for Claude models. Preserve exact retirement wording and official replacement recommendations.

Useful output columns: `modelId`, `currentState`, `deprecatedDateText`, `retirementDateText`, `recommendedReplacement`.

## Practical workflow

Enter the Claude model-family filters used in your application. Keep exact source retirement wording with your inventory, establish a baseline, and review later changes. Use official replacement guidance as a starting point for application testing, not an automatic migration.

## Check the fit

Official Claude model-deprecation table only. Filters match model IDs; ALL includes every current table row. Tentative dates and "not sooner than" wording remain literal, not converted into confirmed shutdown dates. Replacement guidance may be absent and does not prove application compatibility.

## Real output sample

One selected row from a 2026-10-18 run. One saved row with selected scalar fields. Nested structures remain available in full Actor output.

Run: LzoNefLNrbrNhNmSu. Summary status: ok. Incomplete: false.

Historical bounded output from the recorded run. Current source values may differ.

```json
{
  "recordId": "claude-sonnet-5-5",
  "title": "claude-sonnet-5-5",
  "modelId": "claude-sonnet-5-5",
  "currentState": "Active",
  "deprecatedDateText": "N/A",
  "retirementDateText": "Not sooner than September 28, 2027",
  "recommendedReplacement": null,
  "url": "https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/model-deprecations",
  "observedAt": "2026-10-18T15:34:23.850Z"

**Preserve exact retirement wording and official replacement recommendations.**

Track Claude model lifecycle states, retirement wording and official replacement recommendations. Compare saved notices and export migration-review evidence.

## Start in under a minute

1. Paste model name filters into the first input field, or use the included sample.
2. Keep the five-result limit for your first run and choose **Start**.
3. Open **Observations**, **Scope and diagnostics**, or the **Readable run report** in Output. Export CSV or JSON from the dataset.

```json
{
  "families": [
    "claude-sonnet"
  ],
  "maxResults": 5,
  "itemsPerQuery": 3
}
```

No source account, API key, paid proxy or extra subscription is required for these public endpoints. Source availability and rate limits still apply.

## A real output sample

Captured in a successful bounded Apify run; arrays and long text are shortened for readability. Values are snapshots, not live guarantees.

```json
{
  "recordId": "claude-sonnet-5-5",
  "title": "claude-sonnet-5-5",
  "modelId": "claude-sonnet-5-5",
  "currentState": "Active",
  "deprecatedDateText": "N/A",
  "retirementDateText": "Not sooner than September 28, 2027",
  "recommendedReplacement": null,
  "url": "https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/model-deprecations",
  "observedAt": "2026-10-18T15:23:10.728Z",
  "comparisonStatus": "not_requested"
}
```

## What you receive

One row per unique confirmed observation. Every row includes a stable `recordId`, title, source URL and observation time.

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `modelId` | Source-reported model id; missing optional values remain null. |
| `currentState` | Source-reported current state; missing optional values remain null. |
| `deprecatedDateText` | Source-reported deprecated date text; missing optional values remain null. |
| `retirementDateText` | Source-reported retirement date text; missing optional values remain null. |
| `recommendedReplacement` | Source-reported recommended replacement; missing optional values remain null. |
| `comparisonStatus` | not_requested, new, changed or unchanged |
| `changedFields` | Fields different from your last saved observation |
| `previous` | Previous saved source values when comparison is enabled |

## Saved comparisons

Enable **Compare with saved observations**, choose a snapshot name, and reuse the same input scope. The first run establishes history; it cannot report changes before that point. Enable **Save only new or changed observations** for later runs if you want a change-only export. An unchanged run can correctly save zero rows.

Only confirmed saved rows advance history. A bounded or failed run never establishes that a missing record was deleted. History is stored in a named key-value store in the running user's account. Use one writer per snapshot: do not overlap runs against the same snapshot. Change the snapshot name when starting a new independent workflow.

## Scope and limitations

Official Claude model-deprecation table only. Filters match model IDs; ALL includes every current table row. Tentative dates and "not sooner than" wording remain literal, not converted into confirmed shutdown dates. Replacement guidance may be absent and does not prove application compatibility.

At most ten input values and five hundred saved rows per run. Each input uses a bounded source response. Shared feeds are cached within the run; public documents may require a robots.txt request. Requests are paced. Responses are capped at 8 MiB and share the run deadline. No authentication bypass or code execution is performed. HTTP 429 stops further requests. Source failures appear in SUMMARY and the HTML report, never as paid data rows.

## Pricing

The configured base price is **$0.001 per saved observation**, plus **$0.00005 per start** at the default memory. Five observations cost $0.00505 at that base rate. Applicable plan discounts and the Store pricing panel govern actual charges. Set a maximum charge in Run options. Diagnostics, reports and unchanged skipped rows are not dataset result events.

## A practical workflow

AI application owners maintaining migration inventories for Claude models. Preserve exact retirement wording and official replacement recommendations. Start with the included five-result sample, review source links, then save your own scope as an Actor task. Use a named snapshot for repeat runs and keep source metadata with downstream exports.

## Make it recurring

Save an Actor task with your inputs, then attach an Apify Schedule. For change detection, keep the same snapshot and avoid overlapping runs. Add an integration to deliver results to your own spreadsheet or workflow. No external delivery is enabled automatically.

## Frequently asked questions

**Why did a repeat run return zero rows?** With change-only mode enabled, unchanged records are skipped. Check SUMMARY to distinguish this from empty matches, limits, or an upstream error.

**Does a missing record mean it was deleted?** No. Searches cover a bounded source window; a record can move outside it. Missing records never become deletion claims.

**Can I export or integrate the data?** Yes. Use Apify dataset exports for CSV/JSON, or the Actor API and your own integrations. No external message or delivery is enabled by default.

## Examples

1. **Model name filters: claude-sonnet** — A bounded claude-sonnet observation sample. Review source evidence and export rows or compare them in a later run.
2. **Model name filters: claude-opus** — A bounded claude-opus observation sample. Review source evidence and export rows or compare them in a later run.
3. **Model name filters: claude-haiku** — A bounded claude-haiku observation sample. Review source evidence and export rows or compare them in a later run.
