CSE REST API: deprecated v1, is there a v2?

Like many Google CSE API users, I recently received an email from Google Custom Search asking me, “Please move this to the Custom Search API.” I have checked the documentation , but they only describe how to integrate google search entry into the website. I am currently using a google cse REST endpoint from a Node.js program, so I cannot use it. The documentation regarding the REST endpoint still references V1, so I'm a little lost. I am wondering if this endpoint is also deprecated and will stop working soon, and if the v2 API is (or will be) available through the REST endpoint.

This question is already posted on the official google forums , it seems like a lot of people are worried about this, but there is no answer from google yet, so I'm trying it here!

I finally found a satisfying answer, Josh Sloat on the Google CSE forum . Here is the response he received from Google support: "After researching the related issue and feedback from one of the Google Enterprise Search support teams. If you are using the JSON API to get results, rather than using the custom search items API 1.0 / 2.0 then you will not get impact on post posted regarding migration of custom search item 1.0 to 2.0. ". Thus, this update does not affect the REST API!

Here to add that we had a tech support chat with Google today and confirmed the same: the JSON / REST v1 API is currently not leaving. I'm glad to get clarity on this (for now ...)
