# Manage Posts endpoints migration overview

> Move Post creation and deletion from Standard v1.1 statuses endpoints to X API v2 by comparing parameters, authentication, and rate limits.

## Comparing X API’s manage Posts endpoints

The v2 manage Posts endpoints will replace 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. If you have code, apps, or tools that use the v1.1 version of the manage Posts endpoints and are considering migrating to the newer X API v2 endpoint, then this set of guides is for you.

The following tables compare the standard v1.1 and X API v2 manage Posts endpoints:
