# The older profile lookup and the version 1 webhook signature retire on April 30, 2027

GET https://api.trooth.co/public/trust/{slug} is deprecated in favor of the canonical read, and the body-only webhook signature is legacy. Both stay in service until April 30, 2027.

## What changed

Every answer of the older lookup now carries Deprecation (RFC 9745), Sunset (RFC 8594) and a Link header naming the migration recipe and the canonical lookup for the same identifier. Every webhook delivery that still carries version 1 also carries x-trooth-signature-v1-sunset naming the date. The same release states each Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool's policy in tools/list, counts the public agent budget in one store shared by every server instance, and adds the assurance boundary to every answer.

## Why it changed

The older lookup duplicated the canonical read under another address, and the version 1 signature carries no timestamp, so a captured delivery keeps verifying.

## Who is affected

- **Affected:** Integrations that call the older lookup on api.trooth.co, and webhook receivers that check x-trooth-signature without a timestamp. Readers of trooth.co and receivers that check Standard Webhooks or version 2 are not affected.
- **Availability:** Everyone. Nothing changes in what either answers before the date.
- **Release stage:** Available.
- **Areas:** API, MCP server, Webhooks, Trust Profiles, Legal.

## What to do

**Action required.** Move calls to GET https://trooth.co/api/network/profile?q={domain-or-slug}&contract=2, and verify webhooks with the receiver recipe, before April 30, 2027.

- **April 30, 2027:** GET /public/trust/{slug} on api.trooth.co answers 410 Gone after this date.
- **April 30, 2027:** x-trooth-signature (version 1) is no longer sent after this date.

## Versions and migration

Before:

```bash
curl "https://api.trooth.co/public/trust/example.com"
```

After:

```bash
curl "https://trooth.co/api/network/profile?q=example.com&contract=2"
```

## Dates

- **Announced:** October 12, 2026, the day this entry was written. Entries are never backdated.
- **Released:** October 12, 2026.
