The methods in this class are copied from Publicize_Base class which we can later on clean up to these methods as fallback after deprecating them.

I think we might be doing too much in one go here. We should definitely be doing some refactoring of the Publicize_Base class, but I'm not sure if we want to tackle that at the same time.

It would be good to do the smallest change that fixes our problem.

Looking at this, the endpoint exists because we need to rename a couple of fields and add some more. Would it be possible to extend the current connection test results endpoint, and create a version 2.1 from there?

We're copying quite a bit of code and creating a third set of endpoints, which we should probably avoid if we can.

I initially tried to update that endpoint to enhance it but it resulted in complications for its use on all the sites - Simple and Jetpack. It also cannot be used in Standalone plugins as is.

We're copying quite a bit of code and creating a third set of endpoints, which we should probably avoid if we can.

Yes, existing endpoints are spread all over and the logic is not consolidated, which actually resulted in the schema mess we are trying to solve. I did think about keeping the changes to minimal but it felt like creating more such mess.

The approach here tries to consolidate the endpoint which can be used everywhere - WPCOM and Jetpack sites, both in Jetpack and Social plugin.

I think we might be doing too much in one go here.

I agree but I am confident about these changes that they will be better in the long run.

We should definitely be doing some refactoring of the Publicize_Base class, but I'm not sure if we want to tackle that at the same time.

We are not touching Publicize_Base to leave that refactor for a later time. I just copied the useful bits from there which are needed for the endpoint. We can afterwards deprecate those methods in that class.

It would be good to do the smallest change that fixes our problem.

I am afraid that may lead to further complicated logic of the Publicize classes on Jetpack and WPCOM, making it harder for someone else to follow the business logic.

This change is to ensure it works on WPCOM sites where connection is not an array.

Closing in favour of #40589 as we no longer need the connections endpoint. We can remove the wpcom/v2/publicize/connections endpoint in the future and use the publicize class directly.
