  Registry sweep across RubyGems, npm, PyPI, Packagist, crates.io and NuGet on 2026-08-13.
  Exactly one first-party client library exists: the `animoto` RubyGem, authored by "Animoto",
  whose own gem description reads "The Animoto API is a RESTful web service that transforms
  images, videos, music, and text into amazing video presentations. The Animoto API Ruby Client
  provides a convenient Ruby interface for working with the Animoto RESTful HTTP API." Its last
  release is 1.5.6 on 2013-07-24 — thirteen years before this probe — which is the strongest
  available decay signal on this provider: the only first-party SDK long predates the API host
  that is still serving auth challenges today. No Python, JavaScript, PHP, Rust, .NET or Java
  first-party client was found on any registry.

    Last published 2013-07-24 (v1.5.6). Twelve prior versions on the registry; no release in
    thirteen years. `source_code_uri`, `bug_tracker_uri` and `changelog_uri` are all null in the
    gem metadata, so the registry itself offers no route back to a maintained repository.

    no first-party package. `animoto` on npm (v0.0.2, 2016-02-27, publisher joegesualdo) is an
    unrelated third-party animation utility; `eslint-config-animoto` (v1.0.1, 2016-02-12) is an
    internal lint config, not a client library.

    First-party sample Sinatra application demonstrating the Animoto Workflow Widget plus the
    Animoto API via the Ruby gem. Not a distributable package. Its constants.rb names the
    partner sandbox hosts `platform-sandbox.animoto.com` and `widget-service-sandbox.animoto.com`,
    both of which no longer resolve (NXDOMAIN, probed 2026-08-13).
