# API client libraries

> Draftable maintains several open-source client libraries, making it easy to use the API from C#/.NET, Java, Python, and Node.js. Each library is a thin wrapper around the API that handles making the requests, as well as authentication and signing. The libraries are fully documented in their READMEs on GitHub.

<Warning>
  **This documentation is for API Self-Hosted Version 2 (Legacy)**

  Version 2 is a legacy deployment model. All new customers **must** use Version 3, which features a modern multi-container architecture with improved security and performance.

  👉 [Get started with API Self-Hosted v3](/hc/en-us/articles/51133475373465-API-Self-Hosted-v3-Quick-Start-Guide)
