description: >-
  Perfect Corp ships a dated, well-maintained release train and a clearly stated data-retention
  policy, but publishes no deprecation policy, no sunset headers, no SLA and no status page. Version
  transitions are handled by adding a new path version alongside the old one inside the same contract.

versioning:
  scheme: path + product release train
  path_versions: [v1.0, v2.0, v2.1]
  current_product_version: v1.15
  released: '2026-08-26'
  note: >-
    Two version axes. Path versions (/s2s/v2.0/…, /s2s/v2.1/…) version an individual feature and are
    published side by side — AI Skin Analysis carries both v2.0 and v2.1 in one document, tagged V2.0
    and V2.1. The v1.15 product version is the release-notes train covering the whole API.

  note: >-

    server-to-server auth flow is still carried in the contracts' securitySchemes with no end-of-life
    date attached. A consumer has no published notice period.

  published: false
  url: null
