  https://docs.appyway.com/docs/public-docs, the provider's own contract repository
  github.com/YellowLineParking/Public-Api-Specs (release history read via the GitHub API
  on 2026-09-04), and the four published OpenAPI documents.
provider: AppyWay
providerId: appyway
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path-major
  current: v1
  info_version: '1.0'
  detail: >-
    The major version is the first path segment — api.appyway.com/v1/{section}. Only v1
    has ever been published. All four contracts carry info.version "1.0" and have not
    incremented it across 100+ dated republishes, so info.version is not a usable change
    signal; the repository history is.
  policy_published: false
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  rfc8594: false
  deprecated_operations: []
  detail: >-
    AppyWay publishes no deprecation policy, no advance-notice window, and neither the
    RFC 8594 Sunset nor the Deprecation header appears in any contract. No operation is
    marked deprecated:true.
  observed_removals:
    detail: >-
      Operations have nevertheless been removed from the published contracts without any
      deprecation marker. Comparing the copies harvested into this repo against the
      provider's contracts as published on 2026-09-04.
    evidence:
      previous: openapi/_original/*.yml (earlier API Evangelist harvest)
      current: https://github.com/YellowLineParking/Public-Api-Specs (pushed 2026-08-24)
    traffic_data:
      removed:
      - /authorities/getAll
      - /authorities/getFullBySlug
      added:
      - /exportAuthorityRestrictionsBySlug/{slug}.dxf
      note: >-
        The two removed routes look superseded by the fetchAllAuthorities and
        fetchFullAuthorityBySlug routes that replaced them, but no notice accompanied
        the change.
    reference:
      removed:
      - /changeCountrySpecialDays
      - /changeRegionVenues
      - /fetchAllPermittedVehicles
      added:
      - /fetchAllPermittedVehicleTypes
      note: >-
        changeCountrySpecialDays and changeRegionVenues were the only two write
        operations ever present in a published AppyWay contract. Their removal is what
        makes the current surface entirely read-only.

release_cadence:
  source: https://github.com/YellowLineParking/Public-Api-Specs
  detail: >-
    The provider republishes its OpenAPI, YAML and Postman artefacts to a public GitHub
    repository on every platform deployment, tagged "Deployment 'Deployments-NNNNN'".
    Roughly 10-15 contract-affecting deployments a year; the contract files themselves
    changed on 15 dates between 2025-05 and 2026-08.

sla:
  published: false
  detail: No public SLA, uptime target or credit schedule. Terms are per contract.
status_page:
  published: false
  detail: >-
    No status page. status.appyway.com does not resolve (NXDOMAIN). appyway.statuspage.io
    and appyway.instatus.com both answer 200 but serve the vendors' own marketing pages,
    not an AppyWay status page — wildcard soft-200s, recorded as misses. Each API does
    expose a GET /ping liveness route, but it requires a valid API-KEY, so it is not a
    public status signal.
  probes:
  - url: https://status.appyway.com
    status: 000
    note: DNS does not resolve
  - url: https://appyway.statuspage.io
    status: 200
    note: Atlassian Statuspage marketing page, not an AppyWay status page
  - url: https://appyway.instatus.com
    status: 200
    note: Instatus marketing page, not an AppyWay status page
support:
  channel: email
  contact: apisupport@appyway.com
  detail: >-
    Every published escalation path in the docs — obtaining a key, requesting a rate-limit
    increase, reporting a problem — routes to apisupport@appyway.com. There is no ticket
    portal, forum or public issue tracker for the API.
