  First-party Best Buy API client libraries, all published from the BestBuyAPIs GitHub
  organization. Every one of them is dormant: the newest first-party release on any public
  registry is the node client at 2.4.1 (2021-02-10), and the PHP, Ruby, CLI, Java, .NET and
  Groovy clients have had no registry release since 2015-2017. The API itself is still live
  at api.bestbuy.com/v1, so the SDK layer trails the service by five to eleven years.

  note: >-
    Community Python wrapper, NOT published by Best Buy. Notable because it is the only
    actively-maintained client for this API on any registry — released five days before this
    probe, while every first-party SDK is dormant.

gaps:
- Best Buy publishes no first-party Python client despite Python being the dominant language for retail data work.
- Java, .NET and Groovy clients exist as source only, with no artifact on Maven Central or NuGet.
