API V2 Migration Guide

In June 2020, Algorand introduced the V2 API for algod and deprecated the V1 API. Both APIs remained functional until December 2022 to allow developers time to transition their application code to the fully supported V2 endpoints. Simultaneously, Algorand introduced algorand-indexer with only a V2 API. Use this guide to update your preferred SDK for V2 client support and then transition your application to use V2 clients for algod and algorand-indexer where applicable.

Warning

The V1 API for algod was removed from source in December 2022. Please use V2 going forward.

Information

The kmd API remains unchanged at V1. There are no changes required for application code using the V1 kmd client. Reference kmd client instantiations below.
