  Mention publishes no machine-readable API description. The OpenAPI this overlay extends was reconstructed by API
  Evangelist from Mention's own HTML reference at https://dev.mention.com/current/. This overlay records the enhancements
  API Evangelist applied on top of that reconstruction: provider and rating metadata, the runtime semantics Mention
  documents in prose but cannot express in a spec (no idempotency, cursor pagination, header versioning, the X-Rate-Limit-Reset
  signal), and a per-operation link back to the exact reference page each operation was read from.
