### 2.0

We’re excited to share that we’ve now launched a major update to our API - giving you more powerful, contextual, and intuitive access to your data:

* New api object models. New models are simpler than old ones and easier to understand, but still contains all necessary information.
* New methods to reflect the context of your data. Methods were simplified to improve developing experience.
* "Forms" logic was removed from public api.

### 1.0 (original)
