Added:
Added a new version v2 which has all endpoints similar to v1, but different response schema.
Added a new version v2 which has all endpoints similar to v1. This new version v2 is introduced to fix an issue existing in v1. The response schema of v1 does not support when a hero is protected by multiple backoffs and does not show all the backoffs in response. The response schema of necessary endpoints have been modified in v2 to support an array displaying multiple backoffs and their retail units in response. The request schema remains the same in both v1 and v2.
Removed:
Removed itemIdentifier field from response schema of v2 endpoints.
Removed the itemIdentifier field from response schema of all v2 endpoints since it contained redundant information. The itemIdentifier is still present for v1 endpoints.
