description: >-
  Ximilar versions its REST surface in the URI path (every documented endpoint is /v2/) and
  runs a public status page. It publishes no formal deprecation policy, no Sunset/Deprecation
  header support and no SLA document; the only deprecation signal found is a plain-prose
  notice in the Visual Search docs naming two superseded endpoint families.
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  current: v2
  docs: https://docs.ximilar.com/quickstart
  note: >-
    All documented services sit under /v2/ (e.g. /tagging/fashion/v2/tags,
    /collectibles/v2/tcg_id, /account/v2/request). No version negotiation header, no dated
    version train, and no published policy for how a new major version would be introduced.
