- **Provenance or authentication opinions** for works the gallery has not handled.
- **Real-time ticketing or events booking** — visits are arranged by email or phone, not through an API.

## Data Feeds (REST API v1)

For structured data ingestion, the following versioned JSON endpoints are available:

- API Index: https://caglacabaoglu.com/api/v1
- Schema: https://caglacabaoglu.com/api/v1/schema
- Artists: https://caglacabaoglu.com/api/v1/artists

- Videos: https://caglacabaoglu.com/api/v1/videos
- Search: https://caglacabaoglu.com/api/v1/search?q={query}

All feeds return JSON with Cache-Control headers, standard RFC RateLimit headers (120 req/min), and an `X-API-Version: v1` header. Add `?locale=tr` for Turkish content.

Versioning: the version is in the path (`/api/v1`). Breaking changes ship as `/api/v2`.
Deprecated endpoints answer with `Deprecation: true` plus `Link: rel="successor-version"`,
and a `Sunset` date (RFC 8594) is published at least six months before any removal.
The legacy unversioned `/api/llm/*` feeds are deprecated in favour of `/api/v1/*`; no
sunset date has been announced. Policy: https://caglacabaoglu.com/docs/deprecation-policy
