## OAuth Client ID is no longer required for requests to api.bigcommerce.com

As of October 9, 2020, it is no longer necessary to send the OAuth Client ID as the `X-Auth-Client` header with API requests you make to `api.bigcommerce.com`.

Going forward, API connections are authenticated only with your OAuth Token, using the `X-Auth-Token` header as usual.
