Drawn by src/lib/historyCore.mjs from src/data/graveyard.ts (15 entries: end dates, dated milestones and launch dates) and src/data/changes.ts (dated tracker entries; undated watch items are left out). The poster is the same drawing, written by scripts/build-history.mjs and rendered to PNG by a headless Chromium. - A day is a point, a month is a bar across that month and a year is a bar across that year. No date is sharpened beyond its source. - A graveyard date links the vendor page, archive capture or registry record it quotes. A tracker entry links the page on this site that quotes its source. - A tracker entry with the same date and page as a graveyard date is the same event and is drawn once, as the graveyard mark. - The vendor of a tracker entry is the company its title names first. Records naming none are filed under Other.

Because their source dates them only to a month or a year. A bar across October means the source says October and nothing more precise; drawing it as a point on a guessed day would claim a date nobody published. [Permalink](https://aifitnessapi.com/history#faq-1) ### How do I share the timeline filtered to one vendor? Pick the vendor or kinds and copy the address: the filter is kept in the URL as ?vendor= and &kind=, for example /history?vendor=google&kind=end. Anyone who opens it sees the same filtered timeline. [Permalink](https://aifitnessapi.com/history#faq-2) ### Can I print or reuse the fitness API history poster? Yes. The SVG and PNG are generated from the same records as the page and published under CC BY 4.0: credit AIFitnessAPI and link the page. Each rebuild redraws them, so the poster date is the newest day a record was checked. [Permalink](https://aifitnessapi.com/history#faq-3)
