# API v2 introduction

<p class="">As of today we are introducing  API version 2 for Exoscale products.  Compliant with the <b>OpenAPI</b> standard it comes along with a new documentation section.  We will progressively migrate calls to the new format and new products and features are released under the version 2 specification as of now.</p><p class="">As part of the improvements to this new format, the new accompanying documentation is now complete with test commands as well as payload and response examples. </p><div class="medium-insert-images"><figure>

</figure></div><p class="">API version 1 remains available alongside version 2, with no immediate sunset plans until all calls are migrated end of 2021 earliest. As part of the long term support of our services, version 1 deprecation will be announced with a minimum 180 days notice period. As always, full API interaction is provided through our API client libraries such as https://github.com/exoscale/egoscale making this upcoming long term change transparent for most use cases.</p>
