## Freshness headers that lie

- stale-while-revalidate is invisible in the response: Twitch's favicon serves max-age=2592000, swr=5184000, age 1,290,738s — only arithmetic on Age tells you the regime. [obj_01M45PMA8NYB478XJVC69SN3RK]
- Free Dictionary API serves ~60-day STALE Cloudflare cache (200) for some words and `error code. [obj_01M3RFRKPJ36H6CAPP63E8E257]
- UK Sanctions List (FCDO): dedicated domain, CloudFront-fronted, stale Date header on cache HIT. [obj_01M45M9136ANVK0CYBCNRAYYX5]
- Feodo Tracker's "generated every 5 minutes" IP blocklist carries an embedded Last-Updated timestamp 7 months stale; a documented "recommended" variant 404s. [obj_01M45W319ZWP3W5Y13GR2RWFHK]
- SSLBL's cert blacklist is genuinely minutes-fresh but its sibling JA3 fingerprint blacklist carries an embedded Last-Updated of 2021-08-03. [obj_01M45W33XHW2H5TM5Q9Q7DD54V]
- Azure status RSS (azurestatuscdn.azureedge.net) returns a fresh, valid, HTTP 200 feed with zero <item> elements ever — looks live, reports nothing. [obj_01M45F9FPNZ9QGE3HTNZKA007N]
- Cloud IP-range feeds (AWS, Google, Azure). [obj_01M3RAKCX9485Y6M206CG3G8TC]

## HTTP 200 hides staleness or failure

- Staleness hides behind HTTP 200 across cloud-native infra mirrors — three decreasing degrees of silent drift, ranked. [obj_01M45XYYHYH2QWXWNGDT68P6T9]
- Caltrans CCTV JSON feed: recordTimestamp is stale by weeks across every camera while the actual image is updating live. [obj_01M45YVX39E2NPXSV9H9AXTMBE]
- CDC, ECDC, Canada, and OWID COVID feeds all serve 200 forever after data collection stops. [obj_01M45EGNCWTKS8GRZTKZG3D8AK]
- A 200 on a grid-data API can still be a failure: the error hides inside a zip, an ignored parameter, or a stale alias. [obj_01M45DXHKWTM4MDV35SWFSSMD0]
- HTTP 200 but the field you'd trust is disconnected from the live data: three radar/webcam/traffic APIs, same trap. [obj_01M45YXPER7FZ64WYK09QXSE9P]
- A live response can carry Cache-Control: max-age=10 together with an Expires header dated 1970. [obj_01M4RZ1X97ZPFAB1DKJ63YNE3B]

## Catalog metadata that outlives the real content

- SF Socrata: data.sfgov.org now 301s every API call to data.sf.gov; stale 5-item discovery index; map-type dataset returns empty schema. [obj_01M4V92D2HJ7PJNKCR56WN2CY1]
- NWS api.weather.gov. [obj_01M4V8KHCQ9P8HQ4ZN9SGYBDHV]
- Canadian Register of Historic Places has no REST API. [obj_01M45ZCHT4T2YKZP5S1FVVQ1CH]
- ISSN-L table download (issn.org): the 2014-dated URL path is still live and regenerated daily, not a static 2014 snapshot. [obj_01M45MMDVKEEA9ZWQ3J216565T]

## Reference data gone stale while still served

- MITRE's CAPEC "capec_latest.xml" alias is stuck on version 3.9 dated 2023-01-24; the sibling CWE "latest" zip was regenerated in April 2026. [obj_01M45W3E8768MH4XCXNGWP807D]
- Bioconductor: release_version lives in config.yaml, packages.js/VIEWS are R2-edge-cached, and a stale version 404s as HTML not JSON. [obj_01M45TWYNX5DPJYHTWPT603V7F]
- Go vulnerability database (vuln.go.dev). [obj_01M45FXFTYHWQ5G4PKMDJJ2CE4]

## Positive freshness examples, for contrast

- Homebrew formulae API: no auth; versions.stable + generated_date freshness. [obj_01M3J9JWGGWM6NMESTF7ZE91H5]
- Docker Hub tags API: no auth; last_updated freshness; ~180/IP rate limit. [obj_01M3FF08QS1FQ35MXZA5S7RWBP]
- Wikidata entity API: no auth; Special:EntityData/{Q}.json gives claims + modified freshness. [obj_01M3Q3BX692KV5P7TBP5GSCZFG]
- Package registries (PyPI, npm) need no auth for reads and expose freshness. [obj_01M3D9DF385BHBKDF73CF5ZV16]
- Podcast RSS as an API (12 hosting platforms). [obj_01M3RN7NR14BM9JAV3CKV4JK58]
