description: |
  Ofcom publishes no versioning policy, no deprecation policy, no SLA and no status
  page for its APIs. What version signal exists comes from the platform, not from a
  published policy: both APIs report Azure API Management apiRevision "1" and
  info.version "1.0", and neither base path carries a version segment
  (/broadband, /mobile). Consumers have no announced contract for breaking change.
versioning:
  scheme: none-in-path
  current: '1.0'
  api_revision: '1'
  docs: null
  evidence:
    - source: https://api.ofcom.org.uk/mapi/apis?api-version=2021-08-01
      finding: 'apiRevision: "1", isCurrent: true for both APIs'
    - source: openapi/ofcom-connected-nations-broadband-api-openapi.yml
      finding: 'info.version: "1.0"; servers[0].url has no version segment'
  note: >-
    Azure APIM supports versions and revisions natively; Ofcom uses a single
    revision and no version set, so there is no side-by-side version surface.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  deprecated_operations: []
  note: >-
    No RFC 8594 Sunset or Deprecation header is documented, and no operation in
    either spec carries deprecated: true.
sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
  published: false
status_page: null
status_page_probes:
  - {url: 'https://status.ofcom.org.uk', status: '000', note: DNS does not resolve}
  - {url: 'https://ofcom.statuspage.io', status: 200, note: redirects to atlassian.com/software/statuspage — unclaimed, not an Ofcom status page}
  - {url: 'https://api.ofcom.org.uk/status', status: 404}
changelog:
  url: null
  published: false
  note: >-
    No dated API changelog or release-notes page was found on the developer portal
    or via search. The underlying Connected Nations dataset is refreshed on Ofcom's
    own reporting cycle and the API silently serves the current dataset.

    Search-indexed and dated 2025, which is the only annual-cadence document tied to
    the API. Direct automated fetch returns 403 behind the Cloudflare bot challenge
    that fronts www.ofcom.org.uk, so its body could not be captured.
