We plan to continue to support the legacy version of the API well into 2017 (and later if you let us know), but we do recommend all developers migrate to the new api2 format as your development cycle allows. We strongly recommend that all new recipe and grocery API developers begin with https://api2.bigoven.com

Not at this time. Providing the Recipe and Grocery API costs us thousands of dollars per month, covering hosting, bandwidth, support, editorial, design and development. Your payment helps offset those costs.
