v1-v3 APIs have been deprecated

Don't worry, these APIs are deprecated, but they aren't shut off yet.

All new development with APIs should use the newest version of our API: /1. API /1 is based on RESTful principles, is secured by OAuth 2.0, and provides JSON messages, search, pagination, sorting, and filtering.
