description: >-
  Campbell's publishes no versioning policy, no deprecation policy, no SLA and
  no status page. The one lifecycle event this record can establish is a
  retirement: the Campbell's Kitchen Developer API that this catalog entry was
  built around no longer exists.
versioning:
  scheme: namespace-in-path
  current:
    - namespace: wp/v2
      base: https://www.campbells.com/wp-json/wp/v2
    - namespace: yrsc-search/v1
      base: https://www.campbells.com/wp-json/yrsc-search/v1
    - namespace: email-sub/v1
      base: https://www.campbells.com/wp-json/email-sub/v1
  policy_published: false
  note: >-
    Version numbers come from the WordPress platform and its plugins, not from a
    Campbell's versioning commitment. Nothing states what would happen at a v3.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  rfc8594: false
  deprecated_operations: []
  note: >-
    No Sunset or Deprecation response header was returned on any endpoint, and
    no deprecation policy page exists.
retirements:

    status: retired

    evidence:
      - probe: DNS A record lookup for developer.campbellskitchen.com
        result: NXDOMAIN — no address record

        result: >-
          DNS resolves to 20.81.26.235 but TLS is not served; plain HTTP to
          campbellskitchen.com 301s into https://www.campbells.com/recipes/,
          which then answers 403 to a redirect-following crawler.

    note: >-
      This API — recipes, products, UPC lookup, photography, ratings and
      Nutrition Facts data across Campbell's, Swanson, Pace, Prego and
      Pepperidge Farm — was the basis of this catalog entry. It was withdrawn
      with no sunset notice this pipeline can find, and its brand domain now
      redirects into the consumer recipe site. The recipe and product data it
      served is still reachable, unauthenticated, through the WordPress content
      API recorded in discovery/ — but as a side effect of how the website is
      built, not as a product with a contract behind it.
