+# Notice
+This document describes API v1, which is currently supported, but no longer in active development.
+
+In the future, it will be fully replaced by [API v2](REST_API_V2.md) - see details in [issue 1637](https://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap/issues/1637).
+
+**Notice that [Tribe API](#tribe-api) is available only in API v1 at the moment.**
+
+The process of deprecation will start only after API v2 achieves full feature parity with API v1 (adding Tribe API) and will be preceded by an deprecation announcement giving Snap users time to switch to API v2.
