# Eclipse Adoptium API v3

## Coverage
Eclipse Temurin (OpenJDK) builds across feature versions 8, 11, 16–27, both LTS and non-LTS, per `GET /v3/info/available_releases`.

## Access
`GET https://api.adoptium.net/v3/assets/feature_releases/{version}/ga?image_type=jdk&page_size=N` returns a JSON array of release objects each with a `binaries[]` list (`architecture`, `download_count`, `installer`/`package` with `checksum`, `link`). `GET /v3/info/available_releases` gives the overview: today `{available_lts_releases: [8,11,17,21,25], most_recent_feature_release: 27, most_recent_feature_version: 28, most_recent_lts: 25, tip_version: 28}`.

## Auth
None.

## Rate limits
None observed in headers on this probe.

## Freshness
`most_recent_feature_release` (27, GA) and `most_recent_feature_version` (28, in development) differ by one — "most recent" has two different meanings in the same payload depending on which field is read.

## Known gaps
- `page_size=5000` against `feature_releases/21/ga` did **not** error or visibly clamp to a documented cap — it returned all 15 existing GA releases for that feature version (there is no larger set to clamp against at this version; the apparent "cap" is just the true count).
- An invalid feature version (`/v3/assets/feature_releases/9999/ga`) is `HTTP 404` with a **completely empty body** — no JSON error envelope at all, unlike every successful response on this API, which is always JSON.
- A valid-but-out-of-range `page=99` on a small result set is also a bare empty-body `404`, indistinguishable on the wire from "this feature version doesn't exist" — a client cannot tell "no more pages" from "bad version" without separately checking `/v3/info/available_releases` first.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
