    summary: >-
      island.is (Digital Iceland) is the live, governed national government API platform: a GraphQL
      gateway at api.island.is (auth-gated) fronting internal REST microservices, with B2G REST services
      described in OpenAPI 3.0 and registered in the X-Road "Straumurinn" API Catalogue, all documented in
      the public developer handbook at docs.devland.is. Iceland's former CKAN open-data portal opingogn.is
      is decommissioned — it 301-redirects to island.is and its CKAN Action API returns 404 — so island.is
      is the correct primary entry. The GraphQL gateway returned 404 to anonymous probes (requires IdS auth).
    endpoints:
      - url: https://docs.devland.is/
        status: 200
        note: Public developer handbook (Digital Iceland), live.
      - url: https://api.island.is
        status: 404
        note: GraphQL gateway; auth-gated, returns 404 to anonymous requests.
      - url: https://opingogn.is/
        status: 301
        note: Former CKAN open-data portal; now redirects into island.is (decommissioned).
