  notes: >-
    IEX Cloud (IEX Group's financial data API business) reached end-of-life on
    August 31, 2024. All API endpoints (cloud.iexapis.com, cloud-sse.iexapis.com,
    api.iex.cloud) are unreachable. The original EOL announcement page
    (iexcloud.io/community/blog/iex-cloud-end-of-life-announcement) is gone and has
    no Wayback snapshot; the sunset date is preserved from the prior research round
    (see apis.yml notes, plans/, rate-limits/, finops/).
domain_lapse:
  observed: '2026-07-22'
  notes: >-
    The iexcloud.io domain has lapsed out of IEX Group's control: www.iexcloud.io
    now serves a Namecheap domain-parking lander. Links to iexcloud.io should be
    treated as dead / not provider content.

  notes: >-
    Legacy Core Data API versioned in the URI path (/v1, /stable, /beta). Archived
