title: API Evangelist enhancements — Astronomy API v3
version: 1.0.0
x-generated: '2026-09-04'
x-method: generated
x-source: API Evangelist enrichment pipeline — records this repo's own derived and searched artifacts
against the provider's unmodified specification.
x-note: 'Adds only API Evangelist annotations to the provider''s own v3 definition: artifact cross-references,
the draft status of the contract, the undeclared 429 behaviour, and a per-operation agentic-access
classification. The harvested specification is never mutated.'

x-runtime-notes:
rate-limit: Rate limiting is enforced service-wide on IP and overall consumption and returns 429,
but no 429 response and no RateLimit-* header is declared in this specification. See rate-limits/astronomy-api-rate-limits.yml.
errors: Declared error responses use RFC 9457 application/problem+json. The registry of `type` URIs
is not published; only https://astronomyapi.com/problems/invalid-parameter is named. See errors/astronomy-api-problem-types.yml.
