  notes: >-
    List endpoints (subscribed pulses, search, indicators) return a paged envelope with
    a `next` URL for the following page and `count` for the total, in the Django REST
    Framework style OTX uses.
change_feed:
  supported: true
  mechanism: modified_since / since query parameter on pulse list and events endpoints
  operations:
  - getSubscribedPulses
  - getPulseEvents
idempotency:
  supported: false
  notes: >-
    OTX does not document an idempotency-key mechanism. Pulse creation is not idempotent;
    de-duplicate client-side.
