[...] The old commands and terminology are still valid, but you may see some of these new terms in system messages, on our site, and in our new V2 API. [...]

@John S.,
In which API methods specifically are you interested in seeing this extra info?
Also, can you say in what context would you not know what the request was for and would need this info?

It would be nice if an API method like invite_to_group() would echo back the number/user sent with the request so I can tell what the request was for. When I submit a new number, I just get OK. When I submit a number with a pending request, the number is returned back, but only in the error message.

@Jared,

The new V2 API does not yet have client libraries publicly available. You may still interface with the API using standard HTTP requests, but you will have to write your own client code for now.

We will likely release PHP and Python client libraries first.

Meanwhile be sure to try the “TEST” box on each API method documentation page. You can make direct API calls from your browser and inspect the results. This is a good way to familiarize yourself with the new API.

so i am confused as to how this works because i can’t find anything that shows a api that we can download so how can we do this without downloading a new api file?
am i missing this or is it just not here?
