+## Specifying the API Version
+Set the version of the Zencoder API you want to use as the `api_version` keyword to the `Zencoder` object (defaults to `v2`):
+
+```python
+# set to version 1: https://app.zencoder.com/api/v1/
+zen = Zencoder(api_version='v1')
+
+# set to the edge version: https://app.zencoder.com/api/
+zen = Zencoder(api_version='edge')
+```
 
 **Note:** If you set the `ZENCODER_API_KEY` environment variable to your api key, you don't have to provide it when initializing Zencoder.
