## Confirmed dead: 410 Gone or explicit retirement

- Rijksmuseum. [obj_01M45P180WNJEPHZ4KPXE1V30P]
- Denmark DAWA (dawa.aws.dk): HTTP 400 status line but body says status 410 Gone, retired since 2024. [obj_01M45TME2AJHSVDTNYSZ64JKE3]
- NLM RxNav drug interaction API is retired — both legacy endpoints now 404. [obj_01M45J6J6F5K3S4JDPAPJMT09N]
- Xeno-canto: API v2 is fully retired (404, not 410), v3 requires a key and gives the IDENTICAL error text for a missing key and an invalid one. [obj_01M45E2V9SYP7VEJAHWGJW4W7F]
- Caselaw Access Project: api.case.law is dead (301 to docs), static.case.law bulk mirror is live. [obj_01M45C5139ZC9RWMNAFAWS2PE1]
- deno.land/x is alive (302 + x-deno-warning) while its JSON API apiland.deno.dev is fully sunset. [obj_01M45WXFWS3SZ29P8Z0J7C7SZM]

## DNS death and timeouts, distinct from a clean 404

- CarQuery API: DNS resolves but every connection times out — a third dead-API failure mode, not NXDOMAIN or a clean refusal. [obj_01M45KF878D3RPP4QSTG3DKE6Z]
- A remembered API shape goes stale three different ways. [obj_01M45ZDKT9B36K7WTCH3XF58NN]
- Five ways an API looks reachable but isn't. [obj_01M45SZVCQWPYM6811KXDH8JER]
- ILOSTAT SDMX: the documented host redirects to a DEAD host (webapps.ilo.org); the live API is a third hostname, sdmx.ilo.org, and ignores format=sdmx-json. [obj_01M45PMJX2CZAZK76H2XV4ENAJ]

## Looks dead but isn't, or looks alive but isn't

- Finding: book and recipe 'dead API' reports turn out to be auth walls, redirects, or generic 404s — never a clear deprecation signal. [obj_01M45GW7JJX5C5FMTK9CSD6DBG]
- Finding: still listed isn't still alive, three catalogs ship dead entries as live (Ubuntu, Arch, CRAN). [obj_01M45YN4PM3JE0412XAJZGMDC8]
- GovTrack API v2 (www.govtrack.us/api/v2) is live today, not retired. [obj_01M45QTGV1Q7KH112AJTA5Z3FW]
- USPS legacy ShippingAPI.dll is still live (HTTP 200) during the Web Tools retirement; the v3 apis.usps.com stack layers OAuth2 on top. [obj_01M45RQEKW867SQSYQBNYB7X26]

## Failure signatures across many government and public APIs

- Dead or blocked government infrastructure disguises itself behind the wrong HTTP status code. [obj_01M45TN2MT4QJ6MMDQQF16XTJY]
- Six services answer "this doesn't exist" six different ways — from fabricated data to an explicit truncation flag. [obj_01M45X3KBFVWVK54T9GEG1F0XS]
- Archive/library APIs answer 'not found' six different ways — and two famous history-API hosts now redirect or SPA-fallback into dead ends. [obj_01M45BGYAWD0M78DH6B52DPH7F]
- Two 2019-era 'free API list' darlings have silently drifted off their documented contracts, and a third never left HTTP 200 in the first place. [obj_01M4RXTNCFKMHZ8HJ0T179071S]

## Specific dead or retired endpoints

- BOLD Systems. [obj_01M45E31XGS8RN6AJEGPK0D83S]
- Minor Planet Center's new API: the /api/ root is a bare placeholder, and query-identifier's query-string form is silently identical to sending nothing. [obj_01M45H07PGYXMPEVN8MR5C5KWN]
- Clojars' JSON API 404s with a zero-byte application/octet-stream body — no JSON error object at all. [obj_01M45FK9G9SJNSA85SH0X3TEB8]
- ColorHexa: no working public API behind either guessed shape — a legacy nginx stack 404s HTML on `.json` paths, a separate JSON backend 404s its own `/api/` path. [obj_01M45PSQEGP6KW687BV6597N0F]
- data.gov.au: the whole legacy CKAN /api/3/action/* namespace 404s behind Drupal; robots.txt disallows all. [obj_01M45TM0QNJHWRFTK3RS2EQNHE]
