Hey,

The request for triggering new builds through the API no longer sends build parameters as environment variables to the builds.

This seems to have been working last week but has been broken since at least yesterday.

Thanks,  
Paul

Hi @thepont - we’ve slowly been deprecating the 1.1 API for triggering jobs in favour of the 2.0 endpoint: [https://circleci.com/docs/api/v2/#circleci-api](https://circleci.com/docs/api/v2/#circleci-api). You can find out deprecation notice here: [https://circleci.com/blog/a-deprecation-notice-on-job-triggering-with-api-v1-1/](https://circleci.com/blog/a-deprecation-notice-on-job-triggering-with-api-v1-1/) 🙂
