Why are some GWELLS Endpoints just duplicates from V1 - V2

[LocalNewsTV]

Problem Description

In order to simplify the codebase, a Dev needs to reach out to a Service Owner or Past team member about why there is a lot of duplicated endpoints in GWELLS (V1 v V2).

Solution Needs

• Learn why many endpoints of API V1 and V2 are just clones of each other.
  • Identify these endpoints
• Is there a reason we have Two sets of the same version?
• Can We remove one, seeing as its a duplicate?
  • Is anyone/anything using this V1 service
  • Could we just redirect the request to v2
    • Or just delete the V1 class and use the V2 class
  • Are we only keeping these to preserve git history of the past devs?

Timebox

• How much effort are we committing to this research?

Outcome

Details describing the outcome of the research

• Was it successful? What direction should the work go?
• Was it unsuccessful? Discuss next steps with team

Additional Context

• A PR for removing Swagger Docs
  • Relevant Ticket in JIRA
• In GWELLS you can look at Classes such as [WellExportListAPIViewV1, WellExportListAPIViewV1], [WellListAPIViewV1, WellListAPIViewV2] And see that they're just copies of each other. But these could just point to the same class, the only difference is a lack of Swagger documentation.
• All the Postman tests we inherited have tests for V1 AND V2, In closer inspection these tests are the exact same, other than targetting /v1/ or /v2/ proving these endpoints are offering the exact same functionality

Is there a way to confirm that these endpoints are being hit? Can confirm by logging and taking look at logs in Kibana. Viewing endpoints being hit in django.
