The legacy/sdk path is still supported for backward compatibility:
Version Strategy
Gately uses URL-based versioning for major API changes. The current version is implicit (v1), but future versions will be explicitly versioned:| Version | Base URL | Status |
|---|---|---|
| v1 | /api/v1 | Current (recommended) |
| legacy | /sdk | Deprecated |
| v2 | /api/v2 | Future |
Backward Compatibility
We maintain backward compatibility within major versions:- Minor updates: New endpoints, optional parameters, additional response fields
- Major updates: Breaking changes require a new version
Deprecation Policy
When we release a new major version:- The previous version remains available for 12 months
- Deprecation notices are sent via email and dashboard
- Migration guides are provided in documentation
Best Practices

New integrations should use the latest stable version
Monitor Deprecations

Rate Limiting by Version
Rate limits are consistent across versions:- Standard endpoints: 100 requests/minute
- Authentication: 20 requests/minute
- Bulk operations: 10 requests/minute
Headers
Include version information in your requests for debugging:The
X-API-Version header is optional and used for debugging purposes.
The URL path determines the actual API version used.
