name: Aible API lifecycle
description: >-
  Versioning, deprecation, status and support posture for the Aible API. Aible versions its API by
  path prefix and ships dated product release notes, but publishes no deprecation policy, no Sunset
  or Deprecation header commitment, no SLA and no status page.

versioning:
  scheme: path-prefix
  current_version: v1
  server_build: 2.0.0+git.2624722d65b50b4d1dc4c6032742eca9dc361380
  server_header: mjolnir/2.0.0/<per-request uuid>
  evidence: https://api.iamaible.com/
  policy_published: false
  note: >-
    The API server reports a semantic build version and a git SHA in its own route index, which is
    more than most providers expose, but there is no statement of what a major bump would mean for
    callers and no second version path is served.

deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: unknown
  deprecation_header: unknown
  rfc8594: false
  deprecated_operations: []
  note: >-
    No deprecation or sunset policy appears in the route index, the terms of use, or anywhere on
    www.aible.com. No route in the published index is marked deprecated. Because Aible publishes no
    OpenAPI, there is also no `deprecated: true` flag to derive from.

status_page:
  published: false
  url: null
  probes:
  - {url: 'https://status.aible.com/', result: 'NXDOMAIN'}
  - {url: 'https://status.iamaible.com/', result: 'NXDOMAIN'}
  - {url: 'https://www.aible.com/status', http_status: 404}
  note: No status or uptime page could be found on any Aible host.

sla:
  published: false
  url: null
  note: >-
    The public terms of use (https://www.aible.com/aible-terms-of-use, HTTP 200) are consumer-style
    terms; no uptime commitment, credit schedule or support-response SLA is published publicly.
    Support response commitments are referenced only for channel partners.

release_notes:
  published: true
  url: https://www.aible.com/whats_new
  detail: changelog/aible-changelog.yml

support:
  public_channel: https://www.aible.com/partner_support
  partner_email: partner_support@aible.com

  community_public: false
  community_probe: {url: 'https://aible.zendesk.com', http_status: 403, note: 'redirects to Zendesk "help center closed" — the knowledge base is not public'}

gaps:
- No deprecation or sunset policy of any kind.
- No status page.
- No public SLA.
