# DataStream 2 API v2

> 📘 API v2 Decommissioning
>
> The DataStream 2 API v2 is currently being decommissioned before reaching End of Life (EOL) in December 2026.
>
> We recommend migrating or building new stream configurations in the [API v3](https://techdocs.akamai.com/datastream2/reference/api). See the [API v2 migration guide](https://techdocs.akamai.com/datastream2/v2/reference/datastream-api-v2-decommission-and-migration#/) and [release notes](https://techdocs.akamai.com/datastream2/changelog) to stay up to date with the latest developments.

Create and manage stream configurations, choose from available data sets to monitor traffic, and collect detailed data on your ​Akamai​ properties at the edge. For the steps you need to configure and use DataStream 2, see [Get started](https://techdocs.akamai.com/datastream2/reference/api-get-started) and [API workflow](https://techdocs.akamai.com/datastream2/reference/usage-examples).

This API offers a programmatic alternative to the features of DataStream 2 available in [Akamai Control Center](https://control.akamai.com). It limits the scope of the returned data by the user's account, its permissions, and access to business objects.
