rines.io developer docs

Public, unauthenticated, read-only rines.io API. Prefer Accept: text/markdown on any page.

Auth

None. No OAuth, no API keys, no webhooks. Do not send secrets.

Versioning and deprecation

URL path /api/v1. Unversioned /api/contact is a stable alias of v1. Breaking changes become /api/v2. Deprecated versions send Deprecation and Sunset (RFC 8594) headers for at least 90 days before removal. Current v1 is not deprecated; GET https://www.rines.io/api/v1 returns the policy as JSON. Agents should treat a Sunset date as the last day the version will exist.

Errors

RFC 9457 application/problem+json with a machine-readable code and an error alias. Unknown /api/* paths return JSON 404 problems, not HTML.

Rate limits

RFC RateLimit / RateLimit-Policy / Retry-After headers on API and discovery endpoints. 60 requests / 60 seconds per client.
