Clarification on "Spot API V1 Data" in documentaiton. #2

Closed mklingen-bd closed 4 years ago

mklingen-bd commented 4 years ago

The documentation states:

Currently, the Spot driver only supports API v1 data

Yet, in the API I see references to API v2 in several places, while I don't see any API v1 clients or messages. Are we sure this is accurate?

I'm not sure that is accurate. As far as I knew, the features that have been implemented were in the V1 of the API. What features are from the newer API?

mklingen-bd commented 4 years ago

Ah, I think there's just a confusion here over what we call the API externally and what we call it internally. We call pre-1.1.4 protos "API v1", and post-1.1.4 post "API v2". We might want to change the docs to say "release 1.1.4" instead of "API v1" to mitigate that confusion.
