description: >-
  Versioning, deprecation, status and support posture for the athenahealth API surface. The status
  page and the FHIR version signal are both verifiable. The versioning and deprecation POLICIES are
  not — athenahealth's release notes and change logs page exists at a stable URL but is served by a
  JavaScript single-page application that returns a 2,116-byte HTML shell to any machine client, so
  no policy text could be read.
versioning:
  athenaone_v1:
    scheme: uri-path
    current: v1
    evidence: servers[] = https://api.platform.athenahealth.com/v1/{practiceid}
  fhir:
    scheme: uri-path (FHIR release) + FHIR version negotiation
    current: r4
    fhir_version: 4.0.1
    capability_statement_version: 2.0.0
    capability_statement_date: '2022-06-06'
    evidence: >-
      Live CapabilityStatement at https://api.platform.athenahealth.com/fhir/r4/metadata, HTTP 200,
      fetched 2026-08-14. NOTE the CapabilityStatement's own date field is 2022-06-06 — athenahealth
      has continued to add resources and $operations to the server (Group, QuestionnaireResponse,
      MeasureReport, FamilyMemberHistory, MedicationDispense, Specimen, RelatedPerson, Questionnaire
      and six custom operations all appear) without bumping the document's date or version. The
      conformance document under-reports the server's own age.
  spec_versions:
    athenaOne REST API: 1.0.0
    FHIR R4 API: 25.0.0
    FHIR Bulk Data Access API: 2.0.0
    FHIR Subscriptions API: 1.0.0
    CDS Hooks API: 1.0.0
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  rfc8594: false
  evidence: >-
    No Sunset or Deprecation response header is declared on any of the 40 operations in openapi/,
    and no deprecated: true flag appears on any operation or schema. athenahealth's public developer
    documentation could not be read by machine (JS-rendered SPA), so no written deprecation or
    end-of-life policy could be captured. Recorded as not-published rather than absent.

  http_status: 200
  note: >-
    Returns HTTP 200 with a 2,116-byte "athenahealth Document Portal" HTML shell; the content is
    rendered client-side by the @athena/document-portal-ui bundle loaded from
    cdn.nimbus.athena.io. Historical year-scoped pages exist on the same pattern (e.g.
    /api/resources/2019-release-notes). See changelog/athenahealth-changelog.yml.

status_page:
  url: https://status.athenahealth.com/
  verified: true
  http_status: 200
  fetched: '2026-08-14'
  vendor: custom (athenahealth-hosted)
  granularity: per-stack
  components_include:
  - athenaOne Stacks (DB93-DB96 and others), each broken out into Printing, Integrations, Faxing,
    Patient portal, e-Prescribing, APIs and Clinicals Document
  - athenaPractice
  - athenaOne Dental
  - athenaOne Services
  - Other athenahealth services
  - epocrates
  - Support Environments
  note: >-
    Genuinely useful granularity — "APIs" is a first-class component on every athenaOne stack, so a
    caller can tell whether the API layer specifically is degraded on their tenant's stack rather
    than only whether athenahealth as a whole is up. At probe time all components read Operational.
    The page requires a browser User-Agent; it returns HTTP 403 to a bare curl. No public
    /api/v2/summary.json (Atlassian Statuspage) endpoint is served — it 404s.
  machine_readable: false
sla:
  published: false
  evidence: >-
    No public SLA or uptime commitment is published on athenahealth.com or the developer portal.
    athenahealth's commercial terms are negotiated per contract; SLA language appears in the
    athenaOne Service Description PDF distributed to customers rather than on a public developer
    page.

retired_hosts:

  status: NXDOMAIN
  evidence: >-
    dig returns NXDOMAIN and curl exits 6 (could not resolve host). This host was recorded as the
    baseURL for two API entries in apis.yml before this pass and has been corrected to
    api.platform.athenahealth.com. It is not a deprecation athenahealth announced — it is a host
    that does not exist.
