Good morning all  
I haven’t clear the issues of the Api version 1 key. Is it expiring? I use it on Kaniwani: have I got to change?  
Thanks to all

The API V1 will eventually be put to rest. I don’t know if KW has updated to V2 yet, but they should. That said I don’t think there’s any date set for when the V1 will be taken down.
