  scheme: product-release

  note: >-
    The REST path itself is unversioned (/rest/<resource>) — the API contract moves with the SOAR
    product release, and the REST API reference is republished per SOAR version. SOAR (Cloud) and
    SOAR (On-premises) carry separate documentation sets. From 8.4.0 the SOAR version line was
    aligned with Splunk Enterprise Security.
deprecation:
  policy_url: https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-soar/soar-cloud/release-notes
  formal_policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    Splunk publishes no standalone deprecation or sunset policy document for the SOAR REST API, and
    the API does not emit RFC 8594 Deprecation/Sunset headers. Deprecations are announced in the
    per-release notes instead, which is where the items below come from.
  announced:
  - item: Python 3.9 support
    status: final-release
    version: 8.6.0
    note: 8.6.0 is the final version supporting Python 3.9; later releases require Python 3.13+.
  - item: Classic Playbook Editor
    status: removed
    version: 6.4.0
    note: Removed from the product; existing playbooks continue to run.
  - item: Default admin account name
    status: changed
    version: 6.0.0
    note: Default user renamed from "admin" to "soar_local_admin".

  applies_to: Splunk SOAR (Cloud)
  note: >-
    The Splunk Cloud Service Level Schedule defines availability as being able to log into the Splunk
    SOAR (Cloud) account and use the software. On-premises SOAR carries no SLA — it runs on customer
    infrastructure.
