  apigateway.wideorbit.com

summary: >-
  WideOrbit versions its API by document revision rather than by URI or header,
  publishes no deprecation policy and no Sunset/Deprecation header contract, and
  operates no public status page. It DOES run a real release-notes system at
  releasenotes.wideorbit.com, but that system sits behind the same WO Central
  sign-in as the developer portal, so no dated change history is publicly
  readable. The one deprecation signal WideOrbit ships is inline: the WO Data
  API guide labels its Request Stations List method "(Deprecated)" in the table
  of contents and section heading, and documents Request Traffic Stations List
  as the replacement.
versioning:
  scheme: document-revision
  current_version: WO Data API 4.2.1
  version_date: '2022-07-12'
  in_uri: false
  in_header: false
  in_media_type: false
  note: >-
    Paths are unversioned ({root}/api/RequestData/GetData). WideOrbit describes
    the service as delivering WO Network, WO Traffic and WO Omni data "in a
    unified version agnostic manner", so version skew is absorbed server-side by
    the provisioned request types rather than exposed to the caller.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  notice_period: null
  note: >-
    No written deprecation policy, no advance-notice commitment, and no RFC 8594
    Sunset or Deprecation response headers are documented. Deprecation is
    communicated only as prose in the PDF reference.
  deprecated_operations:
  - operation: Request Stations List
    uri: '{root}/api/Stations/GetAllowedStations'
    method: GET
    marked: '"Request Stations List (Deprecated)" — section heading and table of contents,
      WO Data API Guide 4.2.1'
    replacement: Request Traffic Stations List
    removal_date: null
    note: >-
      The replacement drops TrafficStationInt and TrafficStationId and returns
      BroadcasterInt / StationId / StationInt / StationCallLetters / StationName
      / StationMainPhone. No removal date is given; the deprecated method is
      still fully documented.
changelog:
  public: false
  url: https://releasenotes.wideorbit.com/releasenotes/
  status: 200
  gated: true
  note: >-
    "Release Notes provide a summary of changes for each new build of your
    WideOrbit software" and can be exported to PDF, Word or Excel — but the
    system answers 200 with the WO Central "WideOrbit - Sign in" page for an
    anonymous request, and the bare host https://releasenotes.wideorbit.com/
    returns 403. There is no publicly readable, dated changelog for the API, so
    no entries are recorded here and no ChangeLog pointer is wired.
status_page:
  public: false
  url: null
  note: >-
    No public status page. https://status.wideorbit.com/ does not resolve and
    https://www.wideorbit.com/status/ returns 404. Health information exists but
    is private to partners: the WO Data API exposes
    {root}/api/Diagnostic/status_check[?full=true], guarded by a
    DiagnosticSecurityKey header, which reports failing broadcaster connections
    with last_status / last_status_change / last_check timestamps.
sla:
  published: false
  note: No uptime or support-response SLA is published on the public site.
support:
  url: https://www.wideorbit.com/product-support/
  note: >-
    The guide routes all API questions — new request types, delivery formats,
    credentials, the {root} endpoint — through WideOrbit Support and the
    customer's Account Executive.
corporate:
  note: >-
    WideOrbit has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Lumine Group (Constellation
    Software) since the acquisition closed in February 2023, operating as an
    autonomous business unit. Separately, WO Streaming — WideOrbit's digital
    audio streaming technology, assets and operations — was acquired by Audacy
    in October 2021 and now runs as AmperWave; any WO Streaming API or SDK is no
    longer a WideOrbit surface. Recorded here because both events bound what can
    honestly be attributed to WideOrbit today.
