summary: >-
  Webz.io runs an unversioned API — there is no version in the path, no version header and no dated
  version scheme anywhere in the documentation. Change is communicated as documentation edits, and
  the two live deprecations are marked inline on the docs pages rather than in a policy. There is no
  changelog: https://docs.webz.io/docs/webz/changelog, https://docs.webz.io/changelog and
  https://webz.io/changelog all return a 404 shell.
versioning:
  scheme: none
  in_path: false
  in_header: false
  note: >-
    Endpoints are bare paths (/api/news, /cyberFilter, /breaches). The News/Blogs/Forums family is
    itself the successor to the deprecated Web Content API and reuses the same post document with
    renamed envelope fields, which is a breaking rename delivered as a new endpoint family rather
    than a version bump.
deprecations:
- name: Web Content API
  status: deprecated
  endpoint: https://api.webz.io/filterWebContent
  replacement: News, Blogs & Forums APIs (/api/news, /api/blogs, /api/forums)
  docs: https://docs.webz.io/docs/webz/web-content
  announced_by: An inline warning callout at the top of the product's own documentation page.
  sunset_date: null
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  migration_notes:
  - Envelope meta fields moved from camelCase to snake_case — totalResults becomes total_results,
    moreResultsAvailable becomes more_results_available, requestsLeft becomes requests_left.
  - The posts structure itself is unchanged.
  - New features land only on the replacement endpoints.
- name: Legacy Firehose (FTP delivery)
  status: superseded
  replacement: Firehose FH API (https://api.webz.io/firehose)
  docs: https://docs.webz.io/docs/webz/firehose
  announced_by: 'A tip callout: "Existing Legacy Firehose users should migrate to the FH API."'
  sunset_date: null
  migration_notes:
  - Legacy delivered XML in ZIP files over FTP; the FH API is a REST cursor feed returning enriched JSON.
deprecation_policy:
  published: true
  form: inline documentation notice per product
  url: https://docs.webz.io/docs/webz/web-content
  sunset_rfc8594: false
  notice_period: not stated
  note: >-
    Webz.io does mark deprecated products clearly, name the replacement, and document the exact field
    renames a migrator needs — but it publishes no standalone deprecation policy, no notice period and
    no sunset date, and emits neither the RFC 8594 Sunset header nor a Deprecation header.

data_coverage_windows:
  note: Retention/history limits are a lifecycle fact for a data API — these are the published windows.
  news_blogs_forums: 31 days by default; longer with allowNewsHistory at extra credit cost
  segmentation: 31 days maximum; allowNewsHistory does not apply
  cyber: 2-year history cap
  data_breaches: 365 days by default; raw=true lifts the one-year limit under a restricted parameter set
  news_search: 7 days by default, up to 30 via days, or the full window via allow_all_dates
  archive: 5 years back via the API; data dumps reach back to 2008
  archive_download_link_validity: 7 days
