Agento AI API Versioning & Deprecation Policy

This policy outlines how WebCore Studio manages API changes, signals deprecation, and ensures autonomous AI agents and enterprise integrations experience zero unexpected downtime.

1. API Versioning Conventions

Agento AI supports dual versioning mechanisms:

  • URL Path Versioning: All endpoints are accessible via versioned paths such as /api/v1/... alongside canonical aliases.
  • Header Versioning: Every response includes the X-API-Version: 2026-09-01 header indicating the exact active contract.

2. 180-Day Sunset Guarantee

We guarantee a minimum of 180 days advance notice before removing or modifying any endpoint in a backwards-incompatible manner.

Stage 1: Notice

Announced via email, release notes, and OpenAPI spec.

Stage 2: Deprecation

HTTP Deprecation and Sunset headers returned on all calls.

Stage 3: Sunset

Endpoint gracefully transitions to HTTP 410 Gone.

3. Machine-Readable Deprecation Headers

Deprecated operations return standard RFC 8594 headers to allow autonomous agents to self-adjust:

Deprecation: @1756684800

Sunset: Wed, 01 Sep 2027 00:00:00 GMT
