There are currently four SDKs for API v2: Swift<\/a>, Python<\/a>, .NET<\/a>, and Java<\/a>. We’re continuing to add new SDKs, so watch the blog<\/a> for upcoming announcements. All SDKs and documentation for API v2 are managed via a code generation process, which means that they’re consistent across languages and easy to update as we add new API features.<\/p>\n

Developers have often asked us to support the notion of a file ID: a unique identifier for a file that remains constant even when the file is moved. We’re pleased to announce that API v2 includes this highly-requested feature. Developers can now use file IDs instead of paths to make sure their apps don’t lose track of a file when it’s moved by a user.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You could call the old Objective-C API from Swift, but the new API does not work from Objective-C.<\/p>\n

Update (2015-11-05): Matthew Abbot<\/a>:<\/p>\n

FWIW, objc support is planned as soon as the swift API leaves beta. There are a few aspects that will need a compat layer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
