# The full bundled model lifecycle feed

> Returns Zespan's curated, bundled catalogue of provider-announced deprecation and retirement dates in full — not scoped to a project, since the catalogue is the same for every tenant. This is the raw data [Model Lifecycle](/dashboard/model-lifecycle) findings and the Models page's Lifecycle column are matched against. See the [feed reference](/reference/model-lifecycle-feed) for the field semantics.

**Authenticated with a dashboard session (browser cookie), not `x-api-key`**, and requires the `dashboard:read` permission — not project-scoped, but still member-gated, since the curation is part of what a paying customer gets.

info:
  title: Zespan Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    The Zespan Public API covers the endpoints that customers call directly or
    through the Zespan SDKs: trace ingestion (native and OpenTelemetry), prompt
    management, datasets and dataset runs, and the runtime guardrails check.

    All endpoints authenticate with a project API key sent in the `x-api-key`
    header. Create and manage API keys from the project settings in the Zespan
    dashboard.

      The prompt/agent/model/policy/evaluator/alert dependency graph backing the
      pre-release impact check and the evaluator-delete gate in the dashboard.
      Session-authenticated (dashboard cookie), not `x-api-key`.
  - name: Outcomes
    description: >
      Report business outcomes (a deflected ticket, an avoided refund, an SLA
      met) attributed to a trace, and read them back summarized by agent or
      model, joined to real trace cost. Backs the Value dashboard page. The
      ingest endpoint is `x-api-key`-authenticated like the rest of ingestion;
      the two read endpoints are session-authenticated (dashboard cookie) like
      Blast Radius.
  - name: Compliance
    description: >
      Generate audit-ready evidence documents (a per-agent Compliance Card, or
      SOC 2 control evidence) from recorded platform data, and re-verify a
      generated document's citations against live data. Session-authenticated
      (dashboard cookie), not `x-api-key`, gated by `compliance:read` /
      `compliance:generate` permissions and the Pro plan or above (the framework
      listing is the one exception — no project scope and no plan gate, since a
      customer deciding whether to upgrade needs to see what they'd get).
  - name: Models
    description: >
      Per-model usage, cost, latency, and error-rate rollups for a project,
      including the lifecycle overlay described under the Model Lifecycle tag.
      Session-authenticated (dashboard cookie), not `x-api-key`, gated by
      `dashboard:read`.
  - name: Model Lifecycle
    description: >
      Findings from the daily model deprecation scan, which matches models a
      project actually calls against a curated, bundled catalogue of
      provider-announced deprecation and retirement dates. Every figure on a
      finding (call volume, cost, affected agents/prompts, cost comparison
      against a named successor) is measured from real trace data — there is no
      quality-delta or regression-comparison endpoint, because nothing in this
      API invokes a model on the caller's behalf. Session-authenticated
      (dashboard cookie), not `x-api-key`: reading findings and the catalogue
      requires `dashboard:read`, dismissing a finding requires `alerts:manage`.
