Last week we reported that Google will be deprecating some of the reports and features within the old Google Search Console and they won't be replaced in the new version of the Google Search Console. John Mueller from Google confirmed that when/if this happens, the related APIs will also go away.
John said this on Twitter "I don't think it would make sense to turn down APIs for which we still maintain frontends & backends, but if something's going away completely, I don't think keeping the backends & pipelines running just for the API would be reasonable."

He did add that he knows it is frustrating:
(As someone who runs lots of scripts using various APIs across the web, I know API changes are always a hassle, and we do push to keep things as consistent as possible + to inform as early as we can.)
