versioning:
  scheme: namespace-in-path
  current: wp/v2
  docs: null
  note: The only version in play is WordPress core's REST namespace. vice.com advertises <meta name="generator"
    content="WordPress 7.0.4" /> in its page head. Vice Media publishes no versioning policy of its own
    and sets no version it controls.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  note: No deprecation policy is published, and no Sunset or Deprecation response header (RFC 8594) was
    returned on any observed response.

  url: null
  uptime_target: null

  found on vice.com or vicemedia.com.
changelog: null
changelog_note: No API or product changelog is published. The site's editorial archive is not a changelog
  and is not recorded as one.
deprecated_operations: []
deprecated_operations_note: 'No operation in either derived contract carries deprecated: true; the live
  route-discovery documents declare none.'
host_lifecycle_findings:
- host: vicemediagroup.com
  finding: TLS certificate expired
  evidence: curl error 60 'certificate has expired' on https://vicemediagroup.com/, 2026-09-04
  note: The www. form resolves and redirects to https://www.vicemedia.com/ with HTTP 200; only the apex
    is broken.
- host: video.vice.com
  finding: live contract, effectively empty archive
  evidence: 'GET /wp-json/wp/v2/posts?per_page=1 returned x-wp-total: 1, 2026-09-04'
- host: www.vice.com
  finding: no HSTS
  evidence: no strict-transport-security header on the editorial host; api.vice.com does set it (max-age
    31536000)
