summary: >-
  Zerocater publishes no API lifecycle commitments of any kind. There is no versioning
  policy, no deprecation policy, no API changelog, no status page and no SLA. The only
  lifecycle fact that can be stated is the version segment in the URL. No `StatusPage`
  and no `Deprecation` pointer is emitted, because neither exists.
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  current: v3
  base: https://app.zerocater.com/api/v3
  policy_url: null
  policy_published: false
  note: >-
    v1 and v2 are not reachable and are not documented. The version predecessor is
    visible only indirectly: Zerocater's own 2015 Python client targets the same v3
    path on the retired zerocater.com host.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  note: >-
    No RFC 8594 Sunset or Deprecation header was observed on any response, and no
    deprecation policy page exists.

  from: https://zerocater.com/api/v3

  announced: false
  note: >-
    The API base URL moved from zerocater.com to app.zerocater.com at some point after
    2015. The old base now serves the WordPress marketing 404 page rather than a
    redirect or a Sunset-signalled deprecation, and Zerocater's own published client
    still points at it. This is an unannounced breaking change to the only client
    library Zerocater ships.
status_page:

  note: >-
    Zerocater runs a marketing blog and a newsroom, but neither is a dated API
    changelog and neither carries API release notes.
