prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'api-property-require-valid-url' (API Property Require Valid
URL). Requirement: This property ensures that properties of an API or API
contract all have valid URLs, checking if any of the URLs are not properly
formed, or could be other formats. To fix: Ensure `url` does NOT match the
regular expression
`^((http|https)://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\\+~#?&//=]{2,256}\\.[a-z]{2,6}\\b([-a-z\
A-Z0-9@:%._\\+~#?&//=]*)$`; rename or rewrite any value that does. This rule
is evaluated at the JSONPath `$.apis.*.properties.* | $.common.*` — inspect
every location it matches and correct only what violates the rule. Make the
smallest change that satisfies the rule, leave all unrelated content, key
order, comments, and formatting unchanged, and keep the document valid
APIs.json. Return only the complete corrected document, with no commentary."
