+Public API
+==========
+
+This section of the documentation details the public API
+usable to get details of projects, builds, versions and other details
+from Read the Docs.
+
+.. warning::
+
+    Originally, the Read the Docs API allowed connections over insecure HTTP.
+    Starting in January 2019, requests over HTTP
+    will be automatically redirected to HTTPS
+    and non-GET/HEAD requests over insecure HTTP will fail.
+
+.. tip::
+
+    It is a good idea to put your email address, application name,
+    or Read the Docs username into the user agent header of your requests.
+    That way the Read the Docs' team can contact you in the event of issues.

+API v1 (deprecated)
+===================
 
 We have a limited public API that is available for you to get data out of the site. 
 This document covers only part of the API provided. We have plans to create a read/write API, so that you can easily automate interactions with your project.
 
-.. warning:: This API is out of date and not currently maintained.
-             We have a v2 API that is currently supported at http://readthedocs.org/api/v2/.
+.. warning::
+
+    This API is **deprecated** but will be maintained through at least January 2019.
+    Please connect with :doc:`/api/v2`.
