  title: API Evangelist overlay for Democracy Works Elections API v1 (legacy)
  version: 1.0.0
extends: democracy-works-elections-v1-api-openapi.yml
x-provenance:
  generated: '2026-09-07'
  method: generated
  source: API Evangelist enrichment pass over the harvested Democracy Works contract; captures only the
    catalog's own enhancements and never mutates the provider document.
actions:
- target: $.info
  description: Add the support contact Democracy Works publishes in the contract prose but does not express
    as info.contact.

- target: $.servers[0]
  description: Name the server so a split document still says which surface it belongs to.
  update:
    description: Democracy Works API v1 (legacy, unversioned paths, still served)
- target: $.info
  description: Record where this document came from and what the catalog changed, so the refined copy
    is never mistaken for the provider original.

    x-api-evangelist:
      provider: Democracy Works

      harvested: '2026-09-07'
      harvested-from: https://developers.democracy.works/api/v1
      original: openapi/_original/democracy-works-api-v1-openapi.json
      refinements:
      - Split from the single provider document to one document per resource group.
      - Declared the tag "Elections v1" and applied it to every operation; the provider document tags
        no operation.
      - Restated the OpenAPI version as 3.2.0 (provider publishes 3.1.1).
      - Carried only the components each operation actually references.
      - Added operationIds (getStateAuthorityUrls, getStateAuthorities, getUpcomingElections); the provider
        document declares none.
