v1-v3 APIs have been deprecated.

Although these APIs are not shut off yet, all new development with APIs should use the newest version of our API if available, and the version /1 in all other cases. These later versions are based on RESTful principles, secured by OAuth 2.0, and provide JSON messages, search, pagination, sorting, and filtering.

Get Role by ID

Users have one or more roles assigned to them. Roles determine which apps are available users. For more info, see Roles.

Before calling this API, consider using its version /1 or version /2 equivalent.
