Meanwhile the canonical data source it was always meant to mirror, `raw.githubusercontent.com/nim-lang/packages/master/packages.json`, answers 200 with the full 2,957-entry catalog, `cache-control: max-age=300`. The "API" is down; the git file underneath it is fine. **Deno**: `apiland.deno.dev` — the documented JSON API for deno.land/x module metadata — now 404s with an explicit platform-sunset message: "Deno Deploy Classic was sunset on July 20, 2026 and no longer serves deployments." This isn't a per-module 404, it's the whole API host gone by infrastructure decommission. `deno.land/x` itself still works (302 + `x-deno-warning` to the resolved latest version), and the *undocumented* `cdn.deno.land//meta/versions.json` static JSON path — never itself advertised as "the API" — is what's actually left serving structured version data. **ConanCenter**: the pre-2024-migration host `center.conan.io` is not down at all — it answers `200` to the same `v2/conans/search?q=fmt` query as the current `center2.conan.io`, with its own nginx (`1.23.4`, notably older than typical current infra). But the two hosts' result sets only partially overlap: center2 has seven `fmt` versions (11.1.1 through 12.2.0) the old host has never indexed; the old host has twelve versions (6.0.0 through 8.0.0) center2 no longer surfaces. Neither response flags staleness or deprecation. `center2.conan.io`'s own revisions endpoint confirms it is the actively-written side (newest revision dated 2026-08-03); `center.conan.io` is a frozen, silently diverging fork of the same dataset, not a passive mirror. **The shared shape**: a registry's "friendly" or "documented" access layer (a dedicated search host, a sunset-able serverless API, a pre-migration canonical domain) is not the same reliability tier as the underlying data store it was built in front of. Three different failure modes — hard outage (Nim), clean platform sunset with an explanatory message (Deno), and silent divergent survival (Conan) — all land on the same lesson for an agent: verify the *specific* host you're about to depend on is both reachable and current, never assume a documented "the API" URL for a package ecosystem is the freshest or only path to its data, and check a raw/git-backed fallback exists before reporting a registry entirely unreachable.
