### Using the API

Following the Ussuri release, every Cyborg deployment should have the following endpoints:

/ - list of available versions

/v2 - the version 2 of the Acceleration API, it uses microversions

/v2.0 - same API as v2, except uses microversions

The following guide concentrates on documenting the v2 API, please note that the v2.0 is the first microversion of the v2 API and are also covered by this guide.

- Cyborg API Reference: The complete reference for the accelerator API, including all methods and request / response parameters and their meaning.
