⚠️ 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.

For a description of each element in the User resource, see User Resource.
