    Sekali I'm not sure I understand your message. If you're using an official SDK, such as the Java SDK, you should use the latest version, as released and documented. You do not need to make any modifications to it. It may use some different internal mechanisms, but the latest versions already use API v2.

     

    If you are not using an SDK, you should implement the OAuth flow as documented.

The Java SDK does already use API v2. That authorization page URL has /1/ in it for historical reasons, but it's not actually used for API v1 only. As long as you're using the latest version of that SDK and following the instructions in the readme you're using API v2 and don't need to do anything differently. (Make sure you're using a version of the SDK >1.8.2.)

 

If you're seeing a warning on the authorization page about the API v1 deprecation, it's because you previously used API v1 but didn't acknowledge the deprecation. You can do so from the App Console while signed in to the account that owns the app(s).
