  announced: '2024-04-24'
  source: https://golden.com/
  note: >-
    golden.com's home page is now an acquisition notice: "Golden — the knowledge
    graph now part of ComplyAdvantage". It states that on 24 April 2024
    ComplyAdvantage acquired Golden, that Golden's data-extraction and
    entity-disambiguation methods now feed ComplyAdvantage's ingestion pipeline,
    that Golden's AI/LLM specialists joined ComplyAdvantage's data science team,
    and that founder Jude Gomila became a ComplyAdvantage board observer and
    special advisor. The product site (pricing, signup, query, docs) and the
    Public API v2 host are nonetheless still live and self-serve as of
    2026-08-14.
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  current: v2
  base_path: /api/v2/public
  note: >-
    The public API is versioned in the URL path (v2 is current). No dated or
    header-based versioning is documented.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    No published deprecation policy and no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header
    support. No Deprecation pointer is wired in apis.yml.
  observed_decommissions:
  - subject: docs.golden.com rendering pipeline
    date: '2026-07-02'
    evidence: >-
      An HTML comment served in the docs page reads verbatim: "Scalar API
      reference. Static snapshot of the Golden API v2 spec, previously proxied
      from the entity-graph API server (pathfinder, decommissioned 2026-07-02)."
      The docs are therefore a frozen snapshot, no longer generated from a live
      server, and the host answers 200 with the same shell for every path.
    source: https://docs.golden.com/
  - subject: Golden Protocol (golden.xyz) and its GraphQL API
    date: null
    evidence: >-
      golden.xyz, docs.golden.xyz and dapp.golden.xyz all fail DNS resolution
      (SERVFAIL) as of 2026-08-14. The first-party godel Python SDK, still
      pushed to GitHub on 2026-08-06, documents this host as its API target and
      its documentation home. No deprecation notice was published.
    source: https://github.com/goldenrecursion/godel
  - subject: first-party PyPI distributions (godel, goldnlp)
    date: null
    evidence: >-
      Both PyPI projects still exist and report project-status "active", but the
      PEP 691 index lists zero versions and zero files for each, so the
      published SDKs are no longer installable. See
      packages/golden-packages.yml.

sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
status_page: null
status_page_note: >-
  No status or uptime page. status.golden.com returns NXDOMAIN (probed
  2026-08-14). No StatusPage pointer is wired in apis.yml.
changelog:
  url: null
  note: >-
    No changelog is published. https://golden.com/changelog returns HTTP 200 but
    serves the site's SPA catch-all shell — nav and footer chrome only, no
    changelog content — as do /help, /api-docs and /graphql. No ChangeLog
    artifact or pointer is emitted.
support:
  url: https://support.golden.com/
  email: hello@golden.com
  note: >-
    support.golden.com is a real, machine-readable static page listing the
    support email and links to /docs, /pricing and /settings. It is the only
    support surface that returns content; https://golden.com/contact returns the
    SPA catch-all shell.
blog:
  url: null
  note: >-
    The blog is gone. https://golden.com/blog returns HTTP 302 to
    http://golden.com/home. The Blog pointer has been removed from apis.yml.
