description: 'Sylvia API is a third-party Reddit data API that serves Reddit content as JSON — posts, comments with full recursive
  threads, subreddit and user surfaces, global search, and a live comment stream. Thirty-six operations across twelve tags
  cover the read surface (posts, comments, subreddits, users, search, domains, discovery and live feeds) plus account self-service:
  API key issue and revoke, response-format templates, usage history and crypto billing. Authentication is an API key for
  data endpoints and a separate account token for account operations. It occupies the gap left by Pushshift, giving researchers
  and developers queryable Reddit history without going through OAuth on the first-party API.'

X-Discovery:
  date: '2026-08-04'
  method: probed
  note: Submitted through the Add-API pipeline and PARKED as low_confidence. Reviewed by hand and approved — the pipeline
    was misled by a site-wide HTML catch-all.
  findings:
  - surface: OpenAPI
    url: https://sylvia-api.com/openapi.json
    http_status: 200
    real: true
    note: OpenAPI 3.0.3, 12 paths, 12 operations, 8 schemas, ApiKeyAuth, server api.sylvia-api.com/v1. All 12 operations carry
      an operationId.
  - surface: LlmsTxt
    url: https://sylvia-api.com/llms.txt
    http_status: 200
    real: true
    note: 3,558 bytes, distinct from the catch-all body.
  - surface: Control
    url: https://sylvia-api.com/zzz-control
    http_status: 200
    real: false
    note: CATCH-ALL CONFIRMED — /, /apis.json, /docs and this control path all return the same 3,122 bytes (md5 65bd0d3b).
      That is why the submission scored low confidence. The OpenAPI and llms.txt above return DIFFERENT bytes and different
      checksums, which is what distinguishes a real artifact from the catch-all.

    probe: https://sylvia-api.com/definitely-not-a-real-path-xyz
    status: 404
    content_type: text/plain
    bytes: 10
    note: The site-wide HTML catch-all flagged on 2026-08-04 is genuinely gone.
  not_wired:
    TermsOfService: /terms/ returns 200 but is byte-identical to /login/ (md5 3f9a0a11, 135b of text) — the SPA fallback shell
      carrying the homepage title, not a terms document.
    SignUp: /login/ same shell as above. The route is real in a browser but serves no content to a non-JS client.
    Deprecation: No deprecation or sunset policy published as of 2026-08-18.
    CLI: Mentioned in prose on /sdk/ but no install command, package or repository given.
    Postman: collections/ holds 14 files generated from the superseded 12-operation spec and naming retired tags; moved aside
      this round pending regeneration.
  second_round_2026_08_20:
    trigger: 'api-evangelist/sylvia-api issue #2 — c1nn3r shipped a second round after the 0.12.0 follow-up named the exact
      gaps.'
    verified_live:
      agent-card.json: '200 application/json 4,147b — A2A shape confirmed: supportedInterfaces, securitySchemes (apiKey +
        accountToken), securityRequirements, and 6 real skills (reddit-search, subreddit-listings, full-threads, user-content,
        live-comment-streams, account-self-service).'
      agentic-access-contract.json: 200 application/json 2,522b
      api-catalog: 200 3,116b, expanded from 1,035b
      postman collection: 200 application/json 31,950b
      conformance.yml: 200 1,505b — real standards list with evidence
      overlay.json: 200 792b
      deprecation.md: 200 text/markdown 732b
      openapi.json: '200 116,679b — ErrorResponse.code now enumerates all 9 stable codes: BAD_REQUEST, UNAUTHORIZED, FORBIDDEN,
        NOT_FOUND, LOW_BALANCE, RATE_LIMITED, FEATURE_LOCKED, TIER_EXPIRED, REQUEST_FAILED.'
      negative_control: /zzz-not-real-9137 -> 404 text/plain 10b, so every 200 above is genuine.
    note: They addressed every dimension named in the 0.12.0 follow-up — agent_card, agentic_access, error_semantics, well_known_catalog,
      agent_skills, plus the contract_governance block (ruleset, vocabulary, conformance, overlay).
