  Client-library inventory for API-Sports. The headline finding is that API-Sports
  publishes NO first-party SDK in any language or registry. Its GitHub account exists
  and is clearly the company's, but all twelve repositories on it are FORKS of
  community projects — the account is used to bookmark other people's wrappers, not to
  ship code. Everything below is therefore third-party, and every entry is
  official: false.

    Every repository is fork=true. The account has never pushed original code, and
    nothing on it has been touched since June 2023. A consumer arriving from the
    catalog's GitHubOrganization pointer finds twelve forks of other developers'
    wrappers rather than a supported client.

      Third-party, by an individual maintainer. The most recently released client for
      this API in any registry, and the only one published in 2026.

    note: >-
      Third-party and abandoned. Last released March 2020 — before API-Football v3 —
      so it wraps a version of the API whose hostname no longer exists.

consumer_impact: >-
  Because there is no first-party SDK, the only provider-supported integration paths
  are raw HTTP, the embeddable widget library (see components/) and the RapidAPI
  marketplace client. An abandonment check against the SDKs is meaningless here — the
  correct reading is not "the SDK is stale" but "there is no SDK to be stale".
