# Deprecation: #68141 - typo3/ajax.php {#deprecation-68141}

See [forge#68141](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/68141)

## Description {#description}

The ajax.php entry-point has been marked as deprecated. All AJAX requests in the Backend using the Ajax API are
not affected as they automatically use index.php.

## Impact {#impact}

All extensions directly linking to typo3/ajax.php will throw a deprecation warning.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Installations with custom extensions that call typo3/ajax.php without using proper API calls from `BackendUtility`.

## Migration {#migration}

Use `BackendUtility::getAjaxUrl()`.
