extends: ../openapi/apiary-apiary-api-openapi.yml
x-provenance:
generated: '2026-09-02'
method: generated
source: >-
API Evangelist enrichment pass. Captures the annotations API Evangelist adds on
top of Apiary's published description — provenance, the legacy/deprecation
signals Apiary states only in prose, and the reversibility warnings on the
destructive operations. The base OpenAPI is never mutated.
actions:
- target: $.info
description: Stamp API Evangelist provenance onto the document.
update:
x-apievangelist:
provider: apiary
catalog: https://apis.io/provider/apiary
contract_origin: >-
Translated from Apiary's own API Blueprint / API Elements description at
https://jsapi.apiary.io/apis/apiary. Apiary publishes no OpenAPI of its own.

description: >-
Apiary calls this group "legacy" in prose but stamps nothing machine-readable.
Surface it as a structured signal without editing Apiary's own document.
update:
x-lifecycle-status: legacy
x-lifecycle-source: https://jsapi.apiary.io/apis/apiary
x-lifecycle-note: >-
Apiary's own group description reads "Apiary API exposes legacy API Blueprint
utilities" and calls Authentication:Token "our legacy, authorization token
HTTP header". No replacement is named and no sunset date is published. These
are the only operations that read or write API description documents.
- target: $.paths['/blueprint/publish/{apiSubdomain}'].post
description: Record that this operation is destructive and has no server-side undo.
update:
x-destructive: true
x-idempotent: false
x-reversibility:
grade: documented
reversal: restore-previous-version
reversal_operation_id: null
window: null
note: >-
Replaces the published revision. Apiary keeps version history and exposes a
per-project Atom feed with a diffing UI, but rollback is a manual
copy-and-save in the web editor — there is no restore operation and no
stated retention window. A caller MUST fetch and retain the current
document before publishing.

- target: $.paths['/blueprint/create'].post
description: Record the silent-rename behaviour and the absence of a delete operation.
update:
x-idempotent: false
x-reversibility:
grade: documented
reversal: delete-api-project
reversal_operation_id: null
window: null
note: >-
A taken `desiredName` is silently replaced by a generated `domain` — read it
from the 201 body. Deletion exists only in the web UI and Apiary states it
"can't be undone"; deleting a project with GitHub Integration also removes
its child feature branches.
source: https://help.apiary.io/faq/delete_api/
- target: $.paths['/authorization'].post
description: Note that the token description is the token's identifier.
update:
x-key-field: tokenDescription
x-note: >-
The 30-character description is the token's primary key: DELETE addresses a
token by it, uniqueness is enforced on it via the "Token Description Already
Exists" error, and tokenUrl is that description percent-encoded. The secret
value is returned only on this response and never again.
- target: $.components.schemas.Error
description: Flag that the enum member is the display string, so rewording is breaking.
update:
x-stability-warning: >-
These enum members are human-readable sentences used as machine identifiers.
Any rewording by Apiary is a silent breaking change for a client matching on
them. Five members (Token Creation Failed, Token Deletion Failed, Token
Retrieval Failed, User Query Failed, API Query Failed) are never bound to an
HTTP status in the published contract.
