architecture:
  style: RPC-over-HTTP GET
  note: Each product is its own subdomain service (globalquotes.xignite.com, bonds.xignite.com, ...).
    Operations are GET requests of the form /vN/xServiceName/OperationName with query parameters; operation
    names use Get*/List*/Convert* verbs. Specs carry no operationIds — the operation name is the final
    path segment.
authentication:
  style: apiKey
  parameter: _token
  in: query
  cross_link: authentication/xignite-authentication.yml
idempotency:
  supported: false
  note: No Idempotency-Key contract is documented. All catalogued operations are HTTP GET reads (safe/idempotent
    by HTTP semantics), but CloudAlerts tunnels writes (CreateAlert, DeleteAlerts) over GET, so no formal
    idempotency guarantee exists for those.
pagination:
  style: none
  note: No cursor/offset pagination convention; range operations bound results with StartDate/EndDate
    style query parameters.
formats:
  response_formats:
  - JSON
  - XML
  - CSV
  note: Per the product documentation, services return JSON, XML, or CSV.
error_envelope:
  shape: Outcome/Message/Identity/Delay on every response, HTTP 200 for success and failure
  cross_link: errors/xignite-problem-types.yml
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path (v3 on most services)
  cross_link: lifecycle/xignite-lifecycle.yml
rate_limits:
  note: No rate-limit headers or published rate-limit policy found.
request_tracing:
  note: No request-id tracing header documented; the Identity field of the response envelope echoes the
    authenticated identity.
