On **October 31, 2024** , Display \& Video 360 [Entity Read Files](https://developers.google.com/bid-manager/guides/entity-read/format-v2.md.txt) (ERFs) will sunset. After this date, new private and public ERFs will not be generated. ERFs were [deprecated in June 2021](https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/2021/06/deprecation-of-entity-read-files.html) and the October sunset date was [first announced in January 2024](https://developers.google.com/ads/blog/posts/2024/01/sunsetting-display-video-360-entity.md.txt).


If you are currently using ERFs to programmatically retrieve Display \& Video 360 resource configurations, [migrate to the Display \& Video 360 API](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/guides/how-tos/erf-migration). You can either integrate directly with the [Display \& Video 360 API](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/guides/getting-started/overview) using REST requests or automatically import Display \& Video 360 resource configurations into BigQuery using the [Display \& Video 360 API BigQuery Connector](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/display-video-transfer).


See our [migration guide](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/guides/how-tos/erf-migration) for more information on migrating to the Display \& Video 360 API and the [two integration options](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/guides/how-tos/erf-migration#entity_retrieval_in_the_api).


If you have questions or concerns about this migration, please contact us using our new [Display \& Video 360 API Technical support contact form](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/support/contact).
