}GET /api/v1/changes #
Stable incremental discovery for businesses, events and jobs.
Use a full ISO since date-time with Z or an offset no older than 90 days, then follow cursor until complete. Keep watermark only after all pages finish. Removals are explicit tombstones. Fetch current entities from their API URL. Edits during paging appear in the next window. A cursor belongs to one city. An expired window returns 410 and requires a new full sync.
