description: 'CBS is the flagship broadcast television network of Paramount (Paramount Skydance Corporation, formerly Paramount
  Global), covering CBS Entertainment, CBS News, CBS Sports and the CBS owned-and-operated stations, and feeding Paramount+.
  CBS publishes no developer portal and no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI or GraphQL contract. Two first-party machine-readable surfaces
  are nonetheless live and anonymously reachable and are catalogued here: the legacy CBS Sports Fantasy REST API at api.cbssports.com/fantasy
  (v3.0, opened to third-party developers in 2012 and still returning HTTP 200 in September 2026, though its portal at developer.cbssports.com
  is now NXDOMAIN and its host serves Disallow to every robot), and the CBS News RSS feeds at cbsnews.com/latest/rss. Partner,
  syndication, advertising (EyeQ / Conduit) and distribution APIs stay private with no public contract.'
apis:
- aid: cbs:cbs-sports-fantasy-api
  name: CBS Sports Fantasy API
  description: 'The CBS Sports Fantasy Platform REST API, version 3.0. Opened to third-party developers in January 2012 so
    apps could read league, team, player, draft, transaction and scoring data out of CBS Sports fantasy games. The developer
    program has been retired — developer.cbssports.com no longer resolves and no machine-readable contract is published anywhere
    — but the API host is still live: GET /fantasy/sports returns HTTP 200 with a JSON or XML envelope anonymously. League-scoped
    resources require an access token issued to a member of at least one league. Responses carry a statusCode / statusMessage
    / uri / uriAlias envelope; the version and response_format query parameters select the contract version (3.0) and JSON
    vs XML. api.cbssports.com/robots.txt serves `Disallow: /` to all user agents.'

  name: CBS News RSS Feeds
  description: CBS News publishes a family of public RSS 2.0 feeds covering top stories and each editorial section (US, world,
    politics, technology, entertainment, health, moneywatch, science, space and the network's video and podcast output). The
    feed index at cbsnews.com/rss/ lists them. Each feed is a plain, unauthenticated HTTP GET returning RSS 2.0 XML with content,
    dc, media and CBS-namespaced extensions. It is the only documented, indexed, machine-readable content surface CBS News
    offers; there is no JSON content API, no OpenAPI and no key.
