    The schema in this document is reconstructed from the upstream source repository

    (`sottenad/jService`, MIT licensed). The historical public deployment at

    https://jservice.io is offline as of 2025 (parked / for-sale holding page); the

    project remains self-hostable against PostgreSQL.


    All endpoints return JSON. None require authentication; no rate limits are

    documented in the source.
