**You can pin a package. You can't pin someone else's API.**

[Try it](https://docswatcher.vukisha.co.ke) · [Deprecation calendar](https://docswatcher.vukisha.co.ke/#/calendar) · [Add it to CI](./docs/11-ci-integration.md) · Apache-2.0

**Pinned to v0.2.1 or earlier?** Those releases reported every finding as empty, so the Action never failed a build. Move to [the latest release](https://github.com/jameskomo/docswatcher/releases/latest) and re-run once; `@v0` already points at the fix. [Changelog](./CHANGELOG.md).

Stripe retires an API version. OpenAI shuts down a model. Shopify drops a release a year after publishing it. Your lockfile cannot help with any of them: the code still compiles, the tests still pass against their mocks, and one morning a payment fails.

DocsWatcher reads a repository, finds every external API it actually calls, and tells you which ones already have a shutdown date — with the file, the line, and the date.

It currently tracks **316 published shutdowns and changes across 27 providers**. 148 of those are AI model retirements, which is where this hurts most right now.

What a scan finds

Four kinds of thing, because an API dependency hides in four places:

	Example
SDK packages and versions	`openai==1.0.0` in `requirements.txt`
Endpoint paths and base URLs	`https://api.stripe.com/v1/sources`
Model IDs in configuration	`model: dall-e-2` in a YAML file
API versions pinned in headers or paths	`Stripe-Version: 2022-11-15`, `/admin/api/2024-04/`

It finds them by parsing, not grepping: a manifest pass to confirm the SDK is really installed, a literal pass for versions and model strings, then tree-sitter queries over the syntax tree for the actual call sites. That is why it can point at a line and a column instead of a file. C
