On May 8, 2020, we discontinued our legacy minFraud SOAP API in order to focus
our development on our newer current APIs. We initially
[announced this retirement in April 2019](https://blog.maxmind.com/important-updates-about-tls-v1-0-v1-1-unencrypted-http-requests-and-the-legacy-minfraud-soap-api/).

Other [client APIs for legacy minFraud services](/minfraud/minfraud-legacy) (not
recommended) will continue to be supported. We recommend either integrating with
the [legacy minFraud service directly](/minfraud/minfraud-legacy), or using our
[current minFraud services](/minfraud).
