    All three surfaces are pinned at /v1 — api.spindl.xyz/v1,
    e.spindlembed.com/v1 — and the events host spindl.link/events/server is
    unversioned. No version-negotiation header, no dated version train.

    "For existing advertisers and attribution clients, nothing will change in
    the Spindl service" and "For existing publishers in the Spindl ads network,
    nothing else will change in your integration or how your data is handled."
  corroboration: >-
    An unauthenticated GET to https://e.spindlembed.com/v1/render/test on
    2026-08-13 returned HTTP 401 and set a cookie `cb_dm=…; Domain=coinbase.com`
    alongside the spindlembed.com Cloudflare cookie — the ad surface is being
    served from Coinbase infrastructure.

    verdict: down
    detail: >-
      The documented Server-to-Server base URL returns HTTP 503 Service
      Temporarily Unavailable from an AWS ELB (server: awselb/2.0) on every
      path including its own root, across repeated requests to both backing
      IPs. The Short Links API (listLinks, createLink) is therefore not
      callable. No status page or incident notice exists to explain it.

      POST /events/server without a key returns HTTP 400 "Missing API Key"
      behind Cloudflare — the custom-events ingestion surface is up.

      GET /v1/render/{publisher_id} without a key returns HTTP 401 with
      `www-authenticate: API key is required` — the Ads API is up.

    verdict: live-but-relocated
    detail: >-
      The documentation moved off GitBook onto a Nextra (Next.js) site. Every
      previously recorded docs URL under /spindl/techncial/... now returns 404;
      content lives at /technical/... with no redirect from the old paths.
      Captured in the apis.yml link properties and llms/spindl-llms.txt, both
      of which were pointing at dead URLs before this pass.
notes: >-
  Spindl publishes no versioning policy document, no deprecation or sunset
  policy, no SLA and no public status page (status.spindl.xyz does not
  resolve). No StatusPage or Deprecation pointer is emitted — there is nothing
  published to point to. The material lifecycle facts for this provider are the
  January 2025 Coinbase acquisition, an undocumented docs migration that broke
  every published deep link, a management API host that has been returning 503
  with no notice, and first-party SDKs whose newest release is 2025-01-09.
