How to find which OData version I'm using?

Hello,   As Microsoft anounced "OData v2.0 Service removal date announcement", is there any way to detect which OData version I'm currently using in my Power BI reports so I will not have problems ...

    Lucian Well this is the email I received below. In re-reading this about 12 times. I *think* that the Instance Web API is the Web API, an OData 4.0 service that they mention. So safe *probably*? 

     

    As previously announced in our blog post, on Sunday, April 30, 2023, we plan to remove the Organization Data Service, an OData v2.0 endpoint that was introduced with Dynamics CRM 2011. This service was also known as the OData endpoint or the REST endpoint when it was released, and offers limited capabilities to only create, retrieve, update, or delete table data. This service was deprecated with the introduction of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement v8.0 in favor of the Web API, an OData v4.0 service.
     
    Note: This announcement does not involve the deprecated Organization Service SOAP endpoint. At this time, no date has been announced for the removal of that endpoint.
     
    How does this affect me?
    As we plan to remove the Organization Data Service on Sunday, April 30, 2023, you may experience functionality failures of any code utilizing this service. To avoid interruptions of service functionality, we recommend that any code that uses the Organization Data Service should be migrated to use the Web API before that time.
     
    What actions do I need to take?
    To avoid impact to your code, please use one of the following methods:
    1. Use the Solution Checker to detect any JavaScript web resource code. The rule web-avoid-crm2011-service-odata should detect use in client-side code.
    2. Check any other code, including PowerShell scripts, that send requests to this endpoint: xrmservices/2011/organizationdata.svc
    3. Check any Power BI reports or Excel Data sources that may be using this endpoint.
    4. Please review the information in the best practices documentation for information to upgrade the code to use the Dataverse Web API: Do not use the OData v2.0 endpoint.

So, we cross the fingers and hope will all work after April 30, 2023 🤞😜
