If you're still using the old API, getting started with the new one is fairly easy. The new API
covers everything from the old version except for messages and keywords. We have examples inPython,Java, as well asOACurl(for command-line fans and quick testing). Additionally, there's theSite Verification APIto add sites programmatically to your account. ThePython search query data downloadwill continue to be available for the moment, and replaced by an API in the upcoming quarters.
As always, should you have any questions, you can post in ourWebmaster Help Forum.
