How a Voidly censorship incident progresses through six states — Anomaly, MultiSourceAnomaly, Corroborated, VerifiedIncident, Resolved, FalsePositive — with exact transition thresholds, timing data from 847 incidents in 2024 (67% stuck at Anomaly, 18% reach VerifiedIncident), IncidentRecord struct, publication timing by tier, how lifecycle state encodes into HuggingFace dataset fields, and retroactive state change handling via incident_history.

How a Voidly measurement moves through three confidence tiers — Anomaly, Corroborated, Verified Incident — and what each tier means for journalists, ML researchers, and infrastructure monitoring teams using the dataset.

How the Voidly SSE streaming endpoint delivers censorship events in real time: GET /v1/stream with country/tier/type filtering, four event types (incident_created, incident_updated, incident_resolved, country_status_change), Last-Event-ID reconnection with 24-hour event ring buffer, Python httpx.Client and JavaScript EventSource examples, and how SSE differs from the webhook delivery system.

How the Voidly REST API is designed: key endpoints for incident lookup, measurement queries, country summaries, domain history, BGP events, and 7-day shutdown forecasts; cursor-based pagination, filtering, rate limits, and code samples in curl, Python, and JavaScript.

How the Voidly API handles authentication: two access tiers (public 60 req/hr and keyed), voidly_{env}_{base58} key format with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 storage, D1 + KV request authentication flow, four plan tiers (Free/Research/Professional/Enterprise), HMAC-SHA256 webhook signature verification, key rotation without downtime, test keys for CI, and OAuth2 for third-party integrations.
