description: >-
  Lifecycle posture for Affectiva. There is no published versioning policy, no deprecation
  policy, no Sunset/Deprecation header usage, no SLA and no status page. What the record DOES
  show is an unusually clear decay trail: two developer-documentation hosts have been
  decommissioned or walled since the Smart Eye acquisition, the browser SDK has not been
  rebuilt since 2018, and the company's own product pages now 301 to iMotions.
versioning:
  scheme: document-level semantic version in info.version
  current_version: 0.1.0
  in_path: false
  in_header: false
  evidence: >-
    All thirteen Swagger documents declare `info.version: 0.1.0` and `basePath: /`. There is
    no /v1 prefix, no version query parameter and no version request header anywhere in the
    contract set — an API with no addressable version cannot be versioned off safely.
  note: >-
    The affdex.js browser SDK versions independently and IS pinned in its distribution path
    (3.1, 3.2, 3.2.1); its current build string is 3.2.1.583-b86b1d2.
deprecation_policy:
  published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  deprecated_operations: []
  evidence: >-
    No operation in any of the thirteen documents carries `deprecated: true`, and no
    deprecation or sunset page exists on affectiva.com. No Deprecation pointer is wired.
status_page:
  published: false
  url: null
  evidence: status.affectiva.com does not resolve (NXDOMAIN, checked 2026-09-12). No status page is linked from any Affectiva or iMotions page found. No StatusPage pointer is wired.
sla:
  published: false
support:
  url: https://www.affectiva.com/contact-us/
  note: 301s to https://imotions.com/products/media-analytics/contact-media-analytics/ — a sales contact form, not a developer support channel.

  finding: >-
    The Affectiva Emotion SDK documentation hub — still the destination of every search
    result and third-party tutorial — now returns a readme.io placeholder titled
    "jltestproject79 / Not Yet Active. The creators of this project are still working on
    making everything perfect!" The documentation project was reset or deleted.

  status: 202
  finding: 302s to id.atlassian.com; the developer portal is now a private Confluence space (affectiva.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/auto) behind an Atlassian login.
- surface: http://auto.affectiva.com/
  status: 202
  finding: Automotive SDK documentation, named in the company's own GitHub sample README, redirects to the same gated Confluence login.

  status: 200
  finding: Still served, Last-Modified Tue, 24 Jul 2018 — eight years without a rebuild.

  status: 301
  finding: Redirects to https://imotions.com/products/affectiva-facial-coding-sdk/. /solutions/, /patents/ and /contact-us/ also 301 into imotions.com — the brand is being absorbed into its parent's.
