description: >-
  Hootsuite's lifecycle posture is announcement-driven rather than protocol-driven. It runs a dated
  developer changelog and an Atlassian Statuspage, and it has publicly deprecated named features
  with dates. It does NOT publish a formal versioning or deprecation policy document, and it does
  not emit RFC 8594 Sunset or Deprecation response headers on any operation in any of its four
  OpenAPI documents.
versioning:
  policy_published: false
  style: uri-path
  current_versions:
    rest-api: v1
    analytics-api: v1
    inbox-api: v1 (plus /inbox/v2/ on the CRM contact-attributes endpoint)
    amplify-api: v1
    scim: v2
    iframe-sdk: '4.1'
  note: >-
    No document states how Hootsuite versions, what constitutes a breaking change, or how long a
    prior version is supported. Version history is only observable for the iFrame SDK, which
    publishes a dated deprecation table.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  openapi_deprecated_operations: 0
  note: >-
    Zero operations across the REST, Analytics, Inbox 2.0 and Amplify specifications carry
    `deprecated: true`. Deprecations are announced in the changelog and by email instead, with no
    machine-readable signal an agent could act on.
  announced_deprecations:

  - item: Assignments Manager SDK function
    status: deprecated
    date: '2022-12-31'
    note: >-
      Hootsuite asked developers to stop calling the Assignments Manager SDK function before the
      end of 2022 as it moved to a new social support system in early 2023.

  - item: A set of Facebook profile and post metrics in the Analytics API
    status: deprecated
    date: '2026-06-03'
    note: >-
      Driven by upstream Facebook API changes. Historical data is still returned for dates before
      2026-06-03; the metrics should not be used going forward.
    source: https://developer.hootsuite.com/changelog/changes-to-facebook-metrics
  - item: Posting to Facebook Groups
    status: removed
    note: Surfaced as error code 40024, "Posting to Facebook Groups is no longer supported".
    source: https://apidocs.hootsuite.com/docs/api/swagger.yaml
  unsupported_networks:
    note: >-
      Hootsuite documents that TikTok, YouTube and Bluesky are NOT supported by the publishing API,
      and that Instagram Business profiles cannot be posted to via REST (Instagram Personal only).
      These are standing capability gaps, not deprecations, but they change what an agent can do.

  note: >-
    The status page covers the four end-user applications. There is no component representing the
    public REST / Analytics / Inbox / Amplify APIs, so an API consumer cannot subscribe to the
    availability of the surface they actually call.

  published: false
  note: >-
    No uptime percentage or availability commitment is published on the status page or in the
    public API terms. Enterprise agreements are not public.

    The Inbox 2.0 and Analytics OpenAPI documents both carry
    info.license = "Hootsuite Developer Terms and API License Agreement" pointing at
    https://hootsuite.com/legal/dev-api-terms. Hootsuite has amended these terms with a stated
    effective date before (2022-10-31) and announced it in the changelog.
