  One first-party client library exists and it is a placeholder. The `betalist` gem was
  published by BetaList founder Marc Kohlbrugge from the BetaList GitHub org on
  2014-08-16 at version 0.0.0 and has never been updated; its entire implementation is
  a `Betalist.hi` method that prints "Hello world!", and its README calls it "Ruby
  bindings for the upcoming BetaList API". It is genuinely first-party, so it is
  recorded as official, but it is NOT a working SDK — no `SDKs` pointer is emitted in
  apis.yml, because doing so would credit BetaList with client-library coverage it does
  not have. Twelve years of no releases against a live, still-documented API is the
  clearest decay signal on this provider.

    note: >-
      lib/betalist.rb contains only `class Betalist; def self.hi; puts "Hello world!";
      end; end`. The gem makes no HTTP calls and implements none of the documented
      /v1/startups, /v1/regions or /v1/markets endpoints.

      5 public repos; only betalist-ruby is an API client. The others are an Alfred
      workflow and three forks of unrelated libraries (cloak, jquery-infinite-pages,
      dropbox_api).
