  openapi/la-ruche-qui-dit-oui-api-openapi.yml, the provider's lrqdo/developer
  repository history, and live probes on 2026-07-19
summary: >-
  The provider publishes no versioning policy, no deprecation policy and no
  status page. What follows is observed lifecycle evidence only — dates, probe
  results and corporate events — not a policy the provider has committed to.
published_policies:
  versioning_policy: none
  deprecation_policy: none
  sunset_headers: none_observed
  sla: none
  status_page: none
  note: >-
    Probed status.laruchequiditoui.fr (does not resolve) and searched the site
    and support centre; no status or incident page was found. The site does
    expose a customer-facing incident *reporting* form at
    /en/open-incident, which is a support intake, not a status page.
versioning:
  scheme: unversioned
  detail: >-
    No version segment in the API path. `/oauth/v2/` versions the OAuth bundle,
    not the API. The blueprint's `FORMAT: 1A` is the API Blueprint format
    version.
documentation_state:
  source: https://github.com/lrqdo/developer
  last_updated: '2017-04-06'
  archived: false
  detail: >-
    The public API documentation repository has not been pushed to since April
    2017. It is not archived and GitHub Pages is still serving it at
    lrqdo.github.io/developer/, so it remains publicly reachable while being
    nine years stale.
runtime_state:
  host: https://api.thefoodassembly.com
  probed: '2026-07-19'
  reachable: true
  observations:
  - 'GET / -> 401, WWW-Authenticate: Bearer, server: nginx via CloudFront'
  - GET /me/ -> 401 (documented route still gated, not removed)
  - GET /distribution/1/products/ -> 404 with the generic problemType envelope
  - POST /oauth/v2/token/ -> 404 with the generic problemType envelope
  assessment: >-
    The host is alive and authenticating, but two of the blueprint's documented
    routes — including the token endpoint — now return 404. The documented
    contract has drifted from the deployed one. Treat the published blueprint as
    historical reference, not as a current integration contract.
deprecated_operations: []
deprecated_operations_note: >-
  No operation is marked deprecated in the source documentation. This reflects
  the absence of a deprecation practice, not the absence of drift — see the
  runtime observations above.
corporate_events:
- date: '2010'
  event: Company founded in Paris as La Ruche qui dit Oui!.
- date: '2017-04-06'
  event: Last update to the public API documentation (lrqdo/developer).
- date: '2025-05'
  event: >-
    Merger with CrowdFarming. The provider's own llms.txt states the French
    operations continue under the La Ruche qui dit Oui! brand following the
    merger. thefoodassembly.com now redirects to crowdfarming.com, and the
    support centre for La Ruche qui dit Oui! is hosted at
    support.crowdfarming.com.
- date: '2026-07-19'
  event: >-
    API Evangelist enrichment probe. Website serving the merged CrowdFarming
    commerce platform under the laruchequiditoui.fr domain; legacy API host
    still answering.
risks:
- >-
  No status page and no SLA: consumers have no channel for planned or unplanned
  availability communication.
- >-
  No deprecation policy and no Sunset/Deprecation header practice: routes can
  disappear without notice, and demonstrably have.
- >-
  Documentation-to-runtime drift is already material — the documented token
  endpoint 404s.
