Migrate postSkills

This guide details how the Create a tag endpoint has changed (previously known as postSkills in v1).

💡
Key changes

Terminology: The API v2 uses different terms for what was previously known as 'skills' in API v1.

Where you previously used 'skill' in API v1, you'll now use 'tag'.

Skill in API v2 now refers to a separate platform solution.

Documentation links

Here is the link to the API reference for the API v2

🛑
The documentation for the API v1 is not publicly available.

Endpoint mapping

Here's the direct correlation between the v1 and v2 endpoint URLs:

API v1: /api/v1/skills
API v2: /api/v2/tags

This section details the specific alterations to the input requirements between API versions.
