description: >-
  Versioning, deprecation and operational-transparency posture for the Badger
  Maps API. Badger publishes a one-paragraph versioning statement in its API
  Blueprint and runs a live status page, but publishes no deprecation policy, no
  sunset/deprecation header contract, no SLA and no API changelog.
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  current: v2
  base: https://badgerapis.badgermapping.com/api/2
  policy_text: >-
    "The current version of the API is v2. Other versions may be made available
    as backwards incompatible changes are introduced."
  docs: https://badgerupdatedapi.docs.apiary.io/#introduction/versioning
  note: >-
    The statement establishes that breaking changes get a new path version, but
    names no notice period, no support window for v1, and no migration guide.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  note: >-
    No RFC 8594 Sunset or Deprecation header support is documented, and no
    deprecation policy page exists. No Deprecation pointer is emitted in
    apis.yml because the provider publishes no deprecation policy.
deprecated_operations: []
sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
  published: false
  note: No public SLA or uptime commitment for the API.
status_page:
  url: https://status.badgermapping.com/
  status: 200
  platform: self-published (Tumblr-hosted "Badger Status")
  current_state_at_probe: 'Badger Status: OK'
  recent_entries:

  machine_readable: false
  note: >-
    A real, currently-maintained status page - it carries dated maintenance
    notices and an overall state - but it is a blog, not a status platform: no
    JSON status endpoint, no per-component health, no subscribe/webhook feed, and
    no separate API component.
changelog:
  url: null
  published: false
  note: >-
    No API changelog. The Apiary document reports lastUpdated 2025-08-25; that is
    the only public signal of when the contract last moved.
support:
  url: https://www.badgermapping.com/support/
  email: support@badgermapping.com
  api_enablement: >-
    API/Developer Key access must be enabled by emailing Badger Maps support; it
    is not self-serve.
