description: >-
  Lifecycle posture of the APA Corporation REST surface. The honest summary is that there is no
  lifecycle programme, because there is no API programme: APA has not published a versioning policy,
  a deprecation policy, an SLA, a changelog or a status page for this surface, and none of the
  machine-readable lifecycle signals are present on the wire. What stability the surface has is
  inherited from WordPress core, not committed to by APA.
versioning:
  policy_published: false
  scheme: namespace-in-path
  current:
    - namespace: wp/v2
      note: WordPress core. Stable across WordPress releases; APA does not control it.
    - namespace: apa-ticker/v1
      note: APA's own namespace, currently v1. No published policy for how a v2 would be introduced.
    - namespace: oembed/1.0
      note: oEmbed 1.0, versioned by the standard.
  breaking_change_policy: null
  evidence: >-
    Read from the namespaces[] array of https://apacorp.com/wp-json/ on 2026-09-14. No policy page
    exists; https://apacorp.com/changelog/ returned 404.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  deprecated_operations: []
  evidence: >-
    No Sunset (RFC 8594) or Deprecation header appeared on any response observed on 2026-09-14, and
    no operation in the eleven derived OpenAPIs carries deprecated: true. No deprecation policy page
    was found.
  note: >-
    Recorded as absent, not as clean. An operator relying on apa-ticker/v1/quote has no notice
    mechanism if APA retires or reshapes it.
status_page:
  published: false
  url: null
  evidence: >-
    https://status.apacorp.com/ does not resolve (connection failure, 2026-09-14). No status or
    uptime page is linked from apacorp.com. No status-page pointer is emitted in apis.yml.
sla:
  published: false
  evidence: No service-level commitment exists for this surface. There is no customer relationship to attach one to.
changelog:
  published: false
  evidence: https://apacorp.com/changelog/ returned 404 on 2026-09-14. No dated release notes were found on any host.
  note: >-
    The nearest thing to a change feed APA does publish is the newsroom RSS at
    https://apacorp.com/feed/ — corporate news, not API change history.
support:
  developer_support_channel: false
  general_contact: https://apacorp.com/newsroom/contact-media-relations/
  note: >-
    The only published contact route is media relations. There is no developer support channel,
    no forum and no issue tracker for this surface.
observed_stability_signals:
  - signal: Cache-Control max-age=600, must-revalidate
    note: Ten-minute edge cache on the ticker quote and the collection routes.
  - signal: Last-Modified
    note: Returned on collection responses; usable as a cheap change check.
  - signal: X-WP-Total
