Description Juan Hernández 2016-11-29 15:42:00 UTC
Version 4 of the API has been deprecate since version 4.0 of oVirt, and it will be completely removed in version 4.2, together with the ovirt-shell, and version 3 of the Python and Java SDKs.

Comment 1 Juan Hernández 2016-11-29 15:46:00 UTC
Note that version 3 of the API has been replaced by version 4, which is fully supported. Documentation of the new API is available in the server itself:

  https://myengine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/model

And here:

  https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/paged/rest-api-guide

As summary of the differences between version 3 and version 4 is available here:

Comment 2 Juan Hernández 2016-11-29 16:23:07 UTC
The description of this bug has a typo, it says that version 4 was deprecated, when it should day version 3. To avoid confusion I am closing this bug and replacing it with bug 1399750.
