Migrating access token from API v1 to v2

    Ah, I see. If you have been using the `getAccessToken()` method for access tokens, then you do not need to perform a token migration, as you are already using OAuth 2.0 tokens, which work for both API v1 and API v2.

     

    Is this the case for you?

Ah, you are right. I was little bit confused with the v2 of API ... I thought there is also a change in the OAuth.

Thank you!
