API Versioning

This API uses semantic versioning with URL-based version prefixes.

Current Version: v1 (Stable)

Using Versioned Endpoints (Recommended)

All API endpoints are available under the /api/v1/ prefix:

# Versioned endpoints (recommended)
POST /api/v1/optimize
GET /api/v1/agents/status
POST /api/v1/auth/login

Backward Compatibility

Legacy unversioned endpoints are still supported but deprecated:

# Unversioned (deprecated, will show warnings)
POST /api/optimize  # Still works, but use /api/v1/optimize
GET /api/agents/status  # Still works, but use /api/v1/agents/status

⚠️ Important: Unversioned routes will be removed in a future release. Please migrate to versioned endpoints.
