  model: >-
    Parallel additive versions. v1.2 and v1.3 publish only the endpoints that differ from v1.1
    (38 and 19 endpoints respectively against v1.1's 253), and the v1.1 help document carries an
    `alternates` group naming the alternate version of an endpoint. Clients mix versions per
    endpoint rather than migrating wholesale.
  self_description: >-
    Every /rest/ version publishes a machine-readable help document at
    https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/<version>/help (Accept: application/json), and every
    /wp/ and /wpcom/ namespace publishes a route index at its namespace root.
deprecation:

  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  note: >-
    Automattic publishes no dated API deprecation policy, no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header
    support, and no migration timetable for the /rest/v1 namespace, which remains reachable
    alongside v1.1-v1.3. The OAuth2 documentation does mark the implicit flow as legacy/deprecated
    and the password grant as development/testing only.

deprecated_operations: []
deprecated_operations_note: >-
  No operation in any harvested spec is flagged deprecated — neither the /rest/ help documents nor
  the /wp/ and /wpcom/ route indexes carry a deprecation flag, so deprecation state is not
  machine-discoverable on this API.
