API Hub
Keep old versions and hear about new ones.
Each version preserves what was released at the time, even after it is withdrawn. Follow an API to hear when a new version is announced, becomes available, or is withdrawn.
Version history
Every version of an API has its own evidence.
Example using a fictional weather data API: version three switches to API keys, while version two’s no-authentication record remains. Incorrect records can be corrected with evidence. New content belongs to the next version.

Five events
Record each event from announcement to withdrawal.
A version can pass through several dates. REZICS does not combine them into one.
Announced
The provider says a new version is coming. This is an announcement, not a release.
Scheduled
A planned date is published. If it changes, the earlier date stays in the history.
Available
Confirmed as ready to use, with a source for the confirmation.
Delayed
The planned date moves later. A delay is not a cancellation, which is marked separately.
Withdrawn
The provider withdraws the version. Its record remains and its status changes to withdrawn.
A released version’s record is never rewritten. Later changes belong to the next version.

Highlights
Notify you about new versions, announcements, and decisions only.

Set separate notifications for a version you want to watch closely.
Notifications can go to your inbox, push notifications, or email digests. Unsubscribe from email digests with one click.
