How to migrate from CircleCI GraphQL Unstable API to CircleCI V3 REST API (CircleCI's stated replacement)

57 days until CircleCI GraphQL Unstable API shuts down (2027-01-01). Do not wait.

1. Export your CircleCI GraphQL Unstable API data now. See the export checklist. Grab the full archive, verify it opens.
2. Set up CircleCI V3 REST API (CircleCI's stated replacement). https://circleci.com/docs/api/v3/ - create the account and map your core objects before importing.
3. Run both in parallel for one cycle to catch gaps before CircleCI GraphQL Unstable API goes dark.
4. Cut over: update integrations, billing and runbooks; keep the CircleCI GraphQL Unstable API export archived.
