  DNS/HTTP probes of aes.com subdomains and the 485-URL www.aes.com sitemap,
  plus https://www.aes.com/newsroom, 2026-08-30.
specification: API Commons Lifecycle
specificationVersion: '0.1'
provider: AES Corporation
providerId: aes
versioning:
  scheme: none
  documented: false
  note: 'No API, therefore no versioning scheme.'
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: unknown
  deprecation_header: unknown
  note: >-
    No deprecation policy is published, and no API exists to deprecate. Recorded so
    the absence is attributable rather than unexamined. No `Deprecation` pointer is
    emitted.
status_page:
  published: false
  probes:
    - url: https://status.aes.com
      status: 'DNS NXDOMAIN — Could not resolve host'
  note: >-
    No API or service status page. AES Indiana and AES Ohio publish consumer outage
    maps for electricity service, which are not an API status surface. No `StatusPage`
    pointer is emitted.
sla:
  published: false
  note: 'Fluence Mosaic/Nispera SLAs are contractual; nothing is published publicly.'
retired_endpoints:
  - host: api.aes.com
    product: 'AES Microgrid Energy API (inferred from the CNAME target name)'
    state: retired-and-dangling
    evidence:
      - 'dig api.aes.com CNAME +short -> microgridenergy-api.azurewebsites.net.'
      - 'dig microgridenergy-api.azurewebsites.net -> NXDOMAIN'
      - 'curl https://api.aes.com/ -> curl (6) Could not resolve host'
    note: >-
      The strongest single piece of evidence in this repo that AES once operated a
      public-facing API host. The CNAME survives; the Azure App Service behind it does
      not. Nothing was published about its retirement — no changelog, no sunset
      notice, no redirect. See security/aes-vulnerability-disclosure.yml for the
      takeover exposure the leftover record creates.
    checked: '2026-08-30'
  - host: portal.aes.com
    product: 'AES supplier/partner portal (ServiceNow)'
    state: live-but-authenticated
    evidence:
      - 'dig portal.aes.com -> aesbigskyprod1.service-now.com'
      - 'https://portal.aes.com/ -> 200, title "Portal AES via ServiceNow"'
    note: >-
      A live ServiceNow tenant. ServiceNow instances expose a REST/Table API, but it
      sits behind tenant authentication and AES publishes no documentation for it, so
      it is recorded as an observed surface, not a contract.
    checked: '2026-08-30'
changelog:
  published: false
  note: >-
    AES publishes a newsroom and an "energy insights" feed (corporate news), not a
    dated product or API changelog.
