method: probed
source: openapi/trend-api-openapi.yml + live probes of trend.io, api.trend.io, statuspage candidates
note: >-
  Trend publishes no lifecycle commitments of any kind. There is no developer
  changelog, no versioning policy, no deprecation policy, no SLA and no status page.
  What follows is what could be established by probe and by reading the contract.
versioning:
  scheme: build semver, surfaced in the document only
  current_version: 1.28.31
  source: >-
    info.version and info.title in https://api.trend.io/docs-json; the API root
    returns "Success! trend-api Version: 1.28.31"
  in_url: false
  in_header: false
  policy_published: false
  detail: >-
    Paths are unversioned — /campaign, /creator, /brand, with no /v1 prefix (GET /v1
    returns 404). The version string tracks the deployed build, not a contract
    generation, so it changes on every release and cannot be pinned to. A consumer
    has no way to request an older shape of the API.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  rfc8594: false
  deprecated_operations: []
  detail: >-
    No operation in the spec carries `deprecated: true` (zero of 124), and no Sunset
    or Deprecation response header is declared or observed. There is no published
    notice period. Note this is not evidence of stability — an undocumented internal
    API can change without any signal, and nothing here would tell a caller it had.
changelog:
  published: false
  url: null
  probed:
  - url: https://www.trend.io/changelog
    status: 404
  detail: >-
    No dated changelog exists on trend.io, on the API host, or in the Trend-io GitHub
    organization. The only observable release signal is the build number in
    info.version, which an integrator would have to poll /docs-json to detect.
status_page:
  published: false
  url: null
  probed:
  - url: https://status.trend.io
    status: 0
    detail: DNS does not resolve
  - url: https://status.soona.co
    status: 0
    detail: DNS does not resolve
  - url: https://soona.co/status
    status: 404
  - url: https://trend.statuspage.io
    status: 200
    detail: >-
      NOT Trend's. This page belongs to Trend Micro — its single component is "Apex
      One", Trend Micro's endpoint-security product. Rejected on ownership; the name
      collision between Trend (UGC) and Trend Micro is the trap here.
  - url: https://trendio.statuspage.io
    status: 302
    detail: 302s to https://www.statuspage.io/ — an unclaimed Statuspage subdomain, not a status page.
  detail: No status page, no uptime history and no incident feed exists for this API.
sla:
  published: false
  url: null
  detail: >-
    No SLA, uptime commitment or support-response target is published. Consistent with
    there being no developer program to attach one to.
support:
  url: https://support.soona.co
  detail: >-
    Help-center support for brands and creators (soona-operated, covering the Trend
    UGC product). It is end-user support, not developer support — there is no
    developer contact channel, no support email for API consumers and no
    info.contact in the OpenAPI (contact is an empty object).
engineering_wiki:
  url: https://trendio.notion.site/Trend-Engineering-1ade0c83fcf741a1acb45b73282caf4f
  status: 200
  readable: false
  detail: >-
    The OpenAPI description links to "The Trend Engineering Wiki" on Notion. It
    returns 200 but renders client-side — a fetch yields the single word "Notion" and
    no content — so nothing could be read from it. Recorded as a lead, not a source.
corporate:
  acquired_by: soona (soona.co)
  detail: >-
    Trend was acquired by soona and the product is being folded in as "soona UGC"
    (soona.co/blog/trend-is-now-soona-ugc). trend.io, app.trend.io and api.trend.io
    all remain live and the API is actively deployed (build 1.28.31), and the API
    carries explicit soona integration routes (/auth/soona/account,
    /auth/soona/link-brand) — evidence of an in-progress account migration rather than
    a shutdown. No end-of-life date for the Trend surface has been announced.
