  Air Canada publishes NO first-party client library for its NDC API, in any
  language. This is the expected shape for an IATA NDC 17.2 carrier surface: the
  contract is SOAP/XML over a single POST endpoint per message service, there is
  no OpenAPI to generate a client from, and the airline's onboarding path assumes
  the seller already operates its own NDC stack or is reached through an
  aggregator. Two things WERE found and are recorded separately below: a real Air
  Canada GitHub organisation shipping four small internal .NET utilities to NuGet
  (not API clients), and a third-party generic NDC ecosystem that can speak to Air
  Canada but is not published or endorsed by Air Canada.

    The sdk_count check measures API client libraries. Air Canada ships none, so
    no SDKs pointer is wired. The two first-party NuGet packages below are
    general-purpose .NET utilities that have nothing to do with the NDC API, and
    counting them as SDKs would be false.

    github.com/aircanada is a genuine Air Canada organisation - "Open-Source
    projects used by Air Canada developers", 4 public repositories, all C#/.NET,
    all last touched 2025-08-25. None is an API client. Two of the four are
    published to NuGet under an Air Canada developer's name with the Air Canada
    repo as projectUrl.

        Same Air Canada authorship and the source repo lives in the Air Canada
        org, but the NuGet listing carries no projectUrl, so first-party
        attribution rests on the author and repo rather than on package metadata.

third_party:
  note: >-
    Generic IATA NDC libraries, not Air Canada-specific and not endorsed by Air
    Canada. They are recorded because they are the closest thing to a client
    library a seller integrating Air Canada will find, and because a reader
    should not mistake any of them for an Air Canada release. Each still requires
    Air Canada-issued credentials, the ACNDC schema dialect and the Air Canada
    endpoint paths - none of which these libraries know about.
