According to the docs, Cards v1 is deprecated, and Cards v2 seems to be much more feature-rich.
But when I use the Cards v2 syntax, the API complains about unknown or missing fields. How can I tell the Google servers that I want to use the v2 API? The documentation does not seem to tell anything about that.
All tutorials that I can find seem to use Cards v1 only. I'm mostly following the official tutorial in Python.
I tried to send message with card v2 with this syntax:
"cards_v2": [[{
"card_id": "addContact",
"card": {}
}]
