Versions of API gateway
We have two versions of the API gateway, namely V2 and V3. V2 is a legacy version, while V3 is a newer version that has been built on Kong. This documentation provides an overview of the features and benefits of using these two gateways.
V3 is a newer version of the API gateway that is available at the following link:
Production: https://api.signzy.app/api/v3/
Preproduction: https://api-preproduction.signzy.app/api/v3/
This gateway is simpler to use and requires fewer integrations than V2. However, not all APIs have been onboarded to this gateway yet, and we are in the process of moving the legacy gateway APIs into it.
Benefits of using V3:
- Simpler integrations
- Avoiding additional API calls like (a) identity object creation, (b) Patron login. Refer to V2 API gateway fundamentals to learn more about these.
- Comparatively better performance.
V2 is a legacy version of the API gateway. It is still available, but we recommend using V3 whenever possible. To sign up for an API key for V2, refer to the following link: Sign up for an API key. The endpoints for the V2 gateway are as below.
Production: https://signzy.tech/api/v2
Preproduction: https://preproduction.signzy.tech/api/v2/
In conclusion, while V2 is still available, we recommend using V3 whenever possible due to its simpler integrations and avoidance of additional API calls.
