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 in
Python,
Java, as well as
OACurl
(for command-line fans and quick testing). Additionally, there's the
Site Verification API
to add sites programmatically to your account. The
Python search query data download
will 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 our
Webmaster Help Forum.
