Endoflife.date
This project is a product support database and software version metadata registry that tracks release and discontinuation timelines for software and consumer electronics hardware. It provides a programmatic software lifecycle API for retrieving end-of-life and support dates via JSON.
The project maps software products to standardized identifiers, including CPE, Repology, and PURL, to ensure cross-ecosystem identification. It also includes a runtime compatibility mapper that matches software versions to their minimum required compatible runtimes and dependencies.
The system transforms lifecycle data into RSS and iCalendar feeds for subscription-based notifications and calendar synchronization. Data is served via a static site and a flat-file JSON API.
