note: >-
  Lifecycle posture of the Metamarkets Real-Time Data Ingestion (RDI) API,
  recorded from the surviving legacy documentation and live probes. Metamarkets
  was acquired by Snap Inc. in 2017; the corporate site (metamarkets.com) now
  returns HTTP 404 and the only live surface is the ReadMe-hosted legacy docs at
  docs.metamarkets.com. No deprecation policy, no SLA and no changelog are
  published, and the Statuspage host survives only as a deactivated shell. Each
  absence was probed, and no StatusPage, Deprecation or ChangeLog pointer is
  emitted for this provider as a result.
versioning:
  api_scheme: none
  note: >-
    The ingestion endpoint carries no version in its path or headers
    (https://<host>/events/<endpoint-name>). What is versioned is the PAYLOAD
    contract (OpenRTB API Specification Version 2.5, per the Official Standards
    list) and the first-party client library.
  payload_standard: OpenRTB 2.5
  client_library:
    name: RdiClient for Java
    current: '0.13'
    maturity: beta
    quote: >-
      "The RdiClient for Java is currently in beta and the current version is 0.13."

deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    No deprecation or sunset policy is published anywhere in the documentation, and
    no Deprecation/Sunset (RFC 8594) header support is documented.

  note: No SLA or uptime commitment is published.
status_page: null
status_page_probe:
  - url: https://status.metamarkets.com/
    http_status: 200
    probed: '2026-08-12'
    result: inactive
    detail: >-
      status.metamarkets.com still CNAMEs to Atlassian Statuspage
      (8sbrq3zs63md.stspg-customer.com) and answers HTTP 200, but the page title is
      "Metamarkets Status - Page Inactive" and every API path
      (/api/v2/status.json, /api/v2/summary.json, /history.rss) 302s to the
      deactivated metamarkets.statuspage.io. The host resolves; the status page
      does not exist. NO StatusPage pointer is emitted — a 200 carrying a
      deactivation shell is not a served status page.

  note: >-
    The GitHub organization behind the client libraries (github.com/metamx) is
    still public and lists ops@rilldata.com as its contact; source for the RDI
    client and the RadTech datatypes remains readable there even though the
    binaries are no longer downloadable.
