versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  current:
    partner_api: v1 (spec info.version 2025-10-07)
    publisher_api: v2
    campaign_build_api: v5–v8, versioned per resource
  policy: >-
    The URL carries the major version only. It increments on a breaking change —
    changing an endpoint's HTTP verb, removing or renaming a request/response
    property, or changing a response property's JSON type. Minor, non-breaking
    changes ship without a URL version bump and are not separately announced.

  sdk_adoption_policy:
    source: https://docs.cardlytics.com/sdk/unified-sdk-releases.html
    terms:
    - SDK updates requiring no partner code change must be adopted within 60 days.
    - SDK updates requiring partner code changes must be adopted within 90 days.
    - Critical SDK bug patches must be adopted no later than two weeks after release.
  announced_deprecations:
  - item: Powered By Cardlytics SDK versions prior to 2.6.0
    effective: '2022-07-01'
    note: Older versions continue to function but stability and compatibility are not guaranteed.

    note: End-of-life announced in the advertiser changelog.
    source: https://platform.cardlytics.com/advertisers/changelog/august-2025
  note: >-
    Cardlytics publishes an SDK adoption/deprecation policy and has announced
    individual product end-of-life dates, but no API deprecation policy, no
    sunset window commitment, and no Sunset/Deprecation response headers.
sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
  note: >-
    No public SLA. The error-handling guidance says "specific APIs will speak to
    their SLAs and capacity capabilities", which are delivered in the partner
    agreement rather than published.
status_page: null
status_page_probe:
  url: https://cardlytics.statuspage.io/
  http_status: 200
  finding: >-
    An Atlassian Statuspage exists at cardlytics.statuspage.io but is INACTIVE —
    it renders "Cardlytics Status - Page Inactive ... can only be viewed by team
    members", and its /api/v2/summary.json returns "Your page is inactive."
    status.cardlytics.com does not resolve. There is no public status page, so
    no StatusPage pointer is wired.
health_check:
  endpoint: /healthcheck
  example: https://pub-api-us.prod.cardlytics.com/healthcheck
  note: >-
    Publisher connectivity verification endpoint named in the mTLS onboarding
    guide. It is not anonymously reachable — the host requires a client
    certificate and an allow-listed source IP.

deprecated_operations: []
deprecated_operations_note: >-
  No operation in any of the three published OpenAPI documents carries
  deprecated: true.
retired_surfaces:
- surface: Ad Server v1 API (/api/v1)
  evidence: >-
    Documented only on the legacy docs.cardlytics.com snapshot; superseded by the
    Publisher API v2. The legacy site's own canonical link points at
    platform.cardlytics.com.
- surface: Powered by Cardlytics SDK distribution hosts
  evidence: >-
    The documented iOS distribution host poweredby-sdk-release.cdlx.com no longer
    resolves in DNS, and the Android Maven repository cdlx.jfrog.io/cdlx/libs now
    302s to the JFrog marketing landing page. Both install paths in the published
    SDK docs are dead as of this probe.
