  The developer portal ships a Change Log page under Support, but it is empty: the 2026-09-18 capture of its
  markdown twin (https://1c473acfbecd.us.kongportals.com/changelog.md, 1,592 bytes) contains the navigation, a
  "## Changelog" heading and the footer — no dated entries, no versions, no feed. The API's only version signal
  is the /v2 path segment and the portal's declared 2.0.0.

  api_versioning: path-segment major (v2)

  Deliberately empty — the provider publishes a changelog surface with nothing in it. Recorded so the next
  capture can show movement.

    note: >-
      The Getting Started page's example calls /cars/locations/v1/ (with country_code, brand, keyword); the
      published 2.0.0 contract lists only /cars/locations/v2/keyword. Evidence that v1 location search was
      superseded, with no changelog entry recording it.
