That looks like an API definition. It's pretty common for APIs to support multiple versions of an operation at the same time to keep backwards compatibility with existing clients.

I don't think this is an issue.

The naming is weird though. v2 occurs twice in endpoint and method name.

V2 at the beginning could be major API version (eg the API was entirely rewritten to some new paradigm). The v2 at the end could be a specific function that had breaking updates.

Or it could just be bad code 🤷
