  Versioning is read from the documented base URL; the status page was probed
  live and confirmed to be Friendbuy's own Statuspage instance (page title
  "Friendbuy Status"). Deprecation and SLA are recorded as ABSENT — searched the
  developer docs, friendbuy.com and its sitemap on 2026-08-13 and found no
  deprecation policy, no Sunset/Deprecation header support and no published
  uptime SLA. friendbuy.com/changelog and /release-notes both 404; the product
  updates page exists but renders its entries client-side.
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  current: v1
  base: https://mapi.fbot.me/v1

  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  note: No deprecation or sunset policy is published. No Deprecation pointer is wired into apis.yml.

  note: >-
    Not linked from the developer docs or the marketing footer; found by probing
    the Statuspage namespace and confirmed by page title. status.friendbuy.com
    and status.fbot.me do not resolve.
release_notes:

  http_status: 200
  machine_readable: false
  note: >-
    Published product-updates page, but the entry list is injected client-side —
    the served HTML contains no dated entries and no item links, so no structured
    changelog could be captured. See changelog/friendbuy-changelog.yml.

deprecated_operations: []
surface_drift:
  note: >-
    The developer reference documents three operations that are NOT present in
    the OpenAPI files in this repo — getLedgerEntries, GET /analytics/receipts
    (Receipts), and the "GET Signups"/"GET Purchases" doc headings that map to
    getAccountSignUps/getPurchasesAnalytics here. Recorded rather than
    back-filled, because Friendbuy publishes no machine-readable spec to harvest
    those shapes from.
