note: >-
  Fivestars was acquired by SumUp in 2021 and the product is now marketed as
  SumUp Connect / SumUp Loyalty. This artifact records the lifecycle of the
  FIVESTARS surface only. There is no published API versioning policy, no
  deprecation policy, and no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header contract to
  record — no public API contract exists to version. What Fivestars does still
  operate is a real, publicly reachable status page and a Fivestars-branded
  legal surface, both of which are captured here.
company_lifecycle:
  status: acquired
  acquired_by: SumUp
  acquired: '2021'
  successor_product: SumUp Connect (SumUp Loyalty)
  brand_state: >-
    The Fivestars brand still operates under SumUp. fivestars.com 301s to
    sumup.com/en-us/loyalty-program/, but fsweb.fivestars.com (marketing),
    help.fivestars.com (support), dashboard.fivestars.com (merchant dashboard,
    rmd.fivestars.com 308s to it) and status.fivestars.com are all live and
    Fivestars-branded ("Fivestars by SumUp").

  public_api: false

  evidence: >-
    developers.fivestars.com and docs.fivestars.com do not resolve in DNS.
    api.fivestars.com resolves (via fivestars-edge.fleet.live.us-east-1.sumup.net)
    but returns HTTP 404 on /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml, /swagger.json,
    /v1/openapi.json, /api-docs, /docs, /redoc and every /.well-known/ path.
    www.fivestars.com/developers, /developer, /api and /api-docs all return 404.
    The Wayback Machine holds no capture of developers.fivestars.com or of
    fivestars.com/developers at any point; the only archived /api paths are
    internal /admin/api/* merchant-admin pages that 301'd.
  remaining_client_surface: >-
    One first-party client library survives: TapiSDK for iOS (see
    packages/fivestars-packages.yml), a Terminal API wrapper described in its own
    README as being "for legacy Fivestars integrators including loyalty with
    cPay". Last release 0.0.6 on 2024-05-16. It is distributed to integrators
    from the company's GitHub org, not through a public developer program.
versioning:
  scheme: null
  mechanism: null
  docs: null
  notes: No public API, therefore no published versioning policy.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  changelog: null
  notes: >-
    No deprecation policy is published. The developer surface was retired without
    a public sunset notice that can be found on any Fivestars-controlled host or
    in the Wayback record. No Deprecation pointer is emitted in apis.yml.

  notes: >-
    The Fivestars Terms of Service (effective 2023-01-01, served from
    fsweb.fivestars.com/legal/) governs use of the loyalty platform across the
    website, mobile app and point-of-sale terminals. It publishes no numeric
    uptime commitment.

    components.
