description: |-
  Taboola runs a dated, typed changelog for the Backstage API on its ReadMe developer
  portal. 68 entries total, machine-readable via the portal's own JSON endpoint
  (/backstage-api/api-next/v2/changelogs?visibility=public), each carrying created_at,
  an entry type (added / improved / deprecated / fixed) and a markdown body. Cadence is
  irregular — a dense 2021 run, a quiet 2022-2025, and four entries in the first quarter
  of 2026.

  note: >-
    Unauthenticated, paginated (7 pages at per_page=10). Not advertised as an API by
    Taboola — it is the ReadMe platform's own content endpoint — but it is public and
    stable enough to poll for change detection.

  versioning: path
  current_version: '1.0'
  version_in_url: https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0
  note: >-
    The Backstage API has carried /1.0 in its base path since launch. No entry in the
    68-item changelog announces a version bump — changes ship additively inside 1.0.
