# Identification Frameworks to Identifiers in Domains

If migrating from identification frameworks to identifiers in domains, there are some API changes. Use this page to navigate the differences and find the new API calls to use. Click the endpoints to visit the reference guide with details about the parameters, payloads, and responses.
