# Public API support

Indicates the level of support of an [API Web service](../../api/services.md) that is part of the public API for a particular usage.

PageSeeder has different levels of support if it is invoked in a [publish script](publish_script.md) using Ant.

| UNSUPPORTED | The use of this service is not supported. The service was probably designed for a different purpose; using the service is likely to return an error. |
| --- | --- |
| EXPERIMENTAL | Support for this service has not been established or is experimental. |
| SUPPORTED | PageSeeder supports the use of this service as part of its public API. |
| DEPRECATED | Indicates a service that used to be supported, but is no longer supported in the upcoming release. |
| OBSOLETE | Support for the annotated service has ceased and its use is no longer recommended. Using the service is likely to result in an error. |
