Open data

Every tracker on this site is rendered from committed JSON files, and those files are public. Build on them: dashboards, alerts, CI checks, migration tooling. All we ask is attribution. If you use this data, link to aiflashreport.com.

How the data is maintained

Weekly, delta-gated. Scheduled GitHub Actions refresh the files each week and commit only when something actually changed, so file timestamps mean something.
Provenance on the row. Deprecation rows carry the official vendor source URL they were scraped from; release records link their announcement.
No invented values. When a source does not state a value, the field is empty or null. Nothing is guessed and no LLM writes into these files.
Attribution requested. The data is free to reuse; link to aiflashreport.com when you use it.

Model deprecations

https://aiflashreport.com/data/deprecations.json

A flat JSON array with one object per deprecation record: 210 rows covering Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, scraped from each vendor's official deprecation page. This is the file behind the deprecation calendar. Refreshed weekly (Mondays) by a scheduled scrape; committed only when rows change. When independent trackers disagree with a vendor's date, the row keeps the vendor's date and records the conflict instead of silently picking one.

Fields in deprecations.json
Field	Type	Meaning
model_slug	string or null	Slug of the model's page on this site (/models/<slug>/), null when untracked
provider	string	Vendor name, e.g. Anthropic
model_name	string	Model identifier as the vendor lists it
announced_at	date string or null	When the deprecation was announced (YYYY-MM-DD)
shutdown_at	date string or null	Vendor-stated shutdown date (YYYY-MM-DD)
replacement_slug	string or null	Site slug of the recommended replacement model
replacement_name	string or null	Vendor-recommended replacement model
status	string	One of announced, extended (shutdown date moved later), shutdown
source_url	string	The official vendor deprecation page this row was scraped from
retrieved_at	datetime string	Last time this row was verified or changed (ISO 8601 UTC); stable while the row is unchanged
conflicting_sources	array (optional)	Present only when an independent tracker disagrees; each entry records the source, its URL, and its differing date

API price history

https://aiflashreport.com/data/price_history.json

Append-only price observations: 136 rows, one per (model, observed price change). Rows are never rewritten or rolled up; a new row is appended only when a model's current API price differs from its latest recorded row, so consecutive rows for a model are always a genuine change. This is the file behind the price tracker. Refreshed weekly (Sundays). Prices are normalised to floats in US dollars per million tokens; models whose pricing cannot be normalised are skipped, never zero-filled.

Fields in price_history.json
Field	Type	Meaning
model_slug	string	Model slug, joinable against model_releases.json and /models/<slug>/
observed_at	datetime string	When this price was observed (ISO 8601 UTC)
input_per_mtok	number or null	Input price in USD per million tokens (0.0 = free)
output_per_mtok	number or null	Output price in USD per million tokens
cache_read_per_mtok	number or null	Cached-input read price in USD per million tokens
source	string	weekly_refresh (observed by the weekly tracker run) or git_backfill (recovered from the git history of the model database)

curl -s https://aiflashreport.com/data/price_history.json | jq '[.[] | select(.model_slug == "anthropic-claude-3-5-sonnet")]'

Model release database

https://aiflashreport.com/data/model_releases.json

The full model database: 120 tracked releases, one JSON object per model. This file drives the model pages, comparisons, and timeline. Refreshed weekly. Fields the source did not state are empty strings, empty arrays or objects, or null; nothing is guessed to fill a gap.

Fields in model_releases.json
Field	Type	Meaning
slug	string	Stable identifier; the model's page lives at /models/<slug>/
name	string	Model name
company	string	Releasing company
release_date	date string	Release date (YYYY-MM-DD)
model_type	string	e.g. LLM, image, speech

rate_limits	object or null	Published rate limits, when stated
benchmarks	object	Published benchmark scores, keyed by benchmark
performance_metrics	object	Additional published performance figures
key_features	string[]	Headline features as published
links	object	Related URLs (docs, model card, etc.)
announcement_url	string	Primary source for the release
predecessor_slug	string or null	Slug of the model this one supersedes
changelog	array	Dated post-release changes to the model's entry
launch_coverage	array	Launch-week coverage links
model_release_at	object or null	Provenance for the release date: value, source, source_url

Shutdown calendar feed (.ics)

https://aiflashreport.com/deprecations.ics

The upcoming shutdowns from deprecations.json as an RFC 5545 iCalendar feed: one all-day VEVENT per announced future shutdown (84 at the last build), each carrying the model, provider, replacement, and the official source URL in its description. Subscribe to it from any calendar app and shutdown dates appear, and move, with the weekly refresh. Only vendor-published dates are included.

curl -s https://aiflashreport.com/deprecations.ics | grep -c '^BEGIN:VEVENT'

Weekly delta digests

https://aiflashreport.com/data/weekly_digest/<YYYY>-W<ww>.json e.g. 2026-W30.json

One JSON file per ISO week, assembled deterministically from the three files above: the week's new model releases, API price changes (with the previous price attached), and new or changed deprecation rows. The same JSON renders the weekly changes pages, so page and data can never disagree. Built weekly (Mondays); a week with no changes produces no new commit.

Fields in a weekly digest file
Field	Type	Meaning
schema	string	Schema tag, currently weekly_digest_v1
week	string	ISO week, e.g. 2026-W30
week_start / week_end	date strings	Monday and Sunday of the week (YYYY-MM-DD)
generated_at	datetime string	Build timestamp (ISO 8601 UTC)
new_models	array	Releases dated inside the week; each entry: slug, name, company, release_date, model_type, availability, context_window, announcement_url, tagline
price_changes	array	Price observations inside the week; each entry: model_slug, model_name, observed_at, input_per_mtok, output_per_mtok, cache_read_per_mtok, plus previous (the prior observation, or null)
deprecations	array	Deprecation rows new or changed inside the week, with the same fields as deprecations.json rows

curl -s https://aiflashreport.com/data/weekly_digest/2026-W30.json | jq '{week, new: (.new_models | length), prices: (.price_changes | length), deprecations: (.deprecations | length)}'

Reference integration

ai-model-deprecation-check is a GitHub Action built on deprecations.json: it scans a repo for pinned model IDs and fails CI when one has an announced shutdown. Use it directly, or use its source as a worked example of consuming these endpoints.
