summary: >-
  The Gleeful AI Visibility API is gone. Between the round-1 harvest on 2026-08-03 —
  when every surface below answered live — and this pass on 2026-08-13, gleefulai.com
  was moved to the GoDaddy/Afternic aftermarket and is now a domain listed for sale.
  The API host visibility.gleefulai.com no longer terminates TLS for its own hostname,
  and every /api/* path returns 404 from the parking origin. This is a lifecycle
  record of an API's death, not a deprecation policy: the provider published no
  versioning policy, no deprecation policy, no Sunset/Deprecation header support, no
  SLA and no status page, and it gave no notice before the surface disappeared.
versioning:
  scheme: none-published
  current: 0.1.0
  source: openapi/_original/gleefulai-visibility-openapi.json (info.version)
  note: >-
    The OpenAPI carried info.version 0.1.0 and no path/header/date versioning. No
    versioning policy page was ever published.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    No RFC 8594 Sunset or Deprecation header support was documented, and none of the
    22 documented paths were marked deprecated in the spec. The API went from live to
    unreachable with no announced deprecation window.
sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
status_page:
  url: null
  note: >-
    The provider exposed GET /api/status and GET /api/health as API operations, not a
    hosted status page. Both now return 404, so no StatusPage pointer is emitted.

  event: >-
    API Evangelist harvest — OpenAPI 3.1.0 with 22 paths / 36 operations fetched 200
    from https://visibility.gleefulai.com/openapi.json; POST /api/audit/score returned
    a live HTTP 402 with a decodable x402 v2 challenge; /api/pricing and /llms.txt
    returned 200. Recorded in apis.yml X-Discovery.

    whois Updated Date. Nameservers are ns1/ns2.afternic.com and the domain now
    resolves to GoDaddy aftermarket parking IPs (76.223.54.146, 13.248.169.48).
- date: '2026-08-13'
  event: >-
    This pass — API surface confirmed gone. HTTPS to visibility.gleefulai.com fails the
    TLS handshake; over HTTP every /api/* path 404s and every other path returns the
    parking lander.

    no npm or PyPI package under the name, and the only public repositories carrying
    the slug are API Evangelist's own catalog repos.
