Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Google is doing changes frequently there so we can’t tell you 100% sure but I would try and if you have issues, then you will know you need to use the other one.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Instead of choosing the Legacy, I went with the standard API. So apparently after some research, I came across the official announcement post of New Search Console API (https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2020/08/search-console-api-announcements.html) and it is indeed backward compatible with no changes in scopes.
I used the following scopes as specified in RankMath’s tutorial on “How To Create a Google API Project For Connecting Search Console”:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters
For most users, the transition to a new API is recommended but not mandatory, they can continue using the old one and that should work perfectly just fine. It won’t be discontinued for at least another year I predict.
