  Versioning, deprecation and operational-transparency posture for the Bloomberg Data API
  surface, recorded from what Bloomberg publishes publicly. The SDK line is versioned and
  archived in the open; the REST/Data License service itself publishes no public versioning
  policy, deprecation policy, SLA or status page that an unauthenticated client can read.
versioning:
  scheme: semver
  applies_to: BLPAPI SDK (C++, Java, .NET, Python)
  current_version: 3.26.7
  python_sdk_version: 3.26.7.1
  evidence:
    - url: https://bloomberg.github.io/blpapi-docs/
      status: 200
      detail: C++, C# (.NET), Java and Python all documented at 3.26.7.
    - url: https://bloomberg.github.io/blpapi-docs/all_versions.html
      status: 200
      detail: Public archive of documentation for every prior SDK release.
  rest_api_versioning: not-published
  rest_api_versioning_note: >-
    The Data License / Hypermedia REST surface is reached at https://api.bloomberg.com/eap/ with no
    version segment in the path, and no public document states how breaking changes are versioned.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: unknown
  deprecation_header: unknown
  note: >-
    No public deprecation policy, no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header documentation, and no
    deprecated-operation list — there is no public contract from which deprecations could be derived.
  evidence:
    - url: https://api.bloomberg.com/eap/
      status: 401
status_page:
  published: false
  url: null
  evidence:
    - url: https://status.bloomberg.com/
      status: '<no response>'
      detail: Host does not resolve. Service status for Data License is delivered through the customer-only Bloomberg Enterprise Console (console.blpprofessional.com), which requires a login.
sla:
  published: false
  note: SLAs are contractual to the Data License agreement; nothing is published publicly.
