description: >-
  Versioning, deprecation and operational-transparency posture for the Census Management API, read
  from the provider's own changelog, status page and Activations documentation.
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  current: v1
  docs: https://fivetran.com/docs/activations/rest-api/api-reference/introduction
  note: No date-based or header-based version negotiation is documented.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: unknown
  note: >-
    No written deprecation or sunset policy (notice period, RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation headers,
    supported-version window) is published for the Activations API. Deprecations are announced
    ad hoc on the changelog. No Deprecation pointer is emitted in apis.yml for that reason.
  announced_deprecations:
    - subject: Organization Users and Invitations endpoints
      announced: '2026-05-01'
      status: deprecated
      replacement: >-
        Fivetran's core Users endpoints, which also generate invitations and assign account-level
        roles. The Fivetran endpoints use different internal IDs (users match by email address) and
        Fivetran's standard auth mechanism rather than the Activations workspace/personal token.

  title: Streamlining Fivetran Activations
  source: https://whatsnew.getcensus.com/streamlining-fivetran-activations-upcoming-changes-to-make-fivetran-activations-easier-and-more-accessible-340063
  summary: >-
    Second phase of folding Census into Fivetran. Activation Sources move toward Fivetran
    Destinations; Activations moves into Fivetran's clouds and regions; Activations adopts Fivetran's
    access controls (SCIM, team management, finer-grained permissions); workspaces are being retired;
    and activation syncs are regrouped into individual activations "in the UI and API, exactly like
    connections in Fivetran today". This is a stated forthcoming breaking change to the API surface
    profiled here.

deprecated_operations_note: >-
  Cannot be derived: the provider publishes no OpenAPI for this API, so no operation-level
  `deprecated: true` flags exist to read.
