  Bitly's current first-party client library is @bitly/api-client, published to npm from
  github.com/bitly/bitlyapi.js and listed on Bitly's own SDK docs page. It is young: v0.1.1,
  first released 2026-06-24. The older first-party Python library (bitly_api / bitly-api-python)
  is ARCHIVED on GitHub and its last PyPI release was 0.3 on 2013-08-01 — it targets the retired
  v3 API and should not be used against v4. The iOS and Android SDKs are first-party and
  documented, but are distributed as GitHub release repositories rather than through CocoaPods,
  SwiftPM or Maven Central, so no registry answers for them.

  note: >-
    First-party. "The batteries-included Bitly SDK Node". Repository last pushed 2026-08-10,
    so it is actively maintained, but the published package still sits at a 0.x pre-1.0 version.
- name: Bitly SDK for iOS
  language: Swift/iOS
  registry: github-release
  url: https://github.com/bitly/bitly_ios_sdk_release

  version: null
  published: null
  note: >-
    First-party, documented on Bitly's own SDK page, but distributed as a binary release
    repository with no CocoaPods/SwiftPM/registry entry to query, so there is no registry
    metadata endpoint that can date it. Repository last pushed 2022-09-27 — checked, nothing
    to record, and the four-year gap is itself the finding.
- name: Bitly SDK for Android
  language: Kotlin/Android
  registry: github-release
  url: https://github.com/bitly/bitly_android_sdk_release
  repository: https://github.com/bitly/bitly_android_sdk_release

  official: true
  version: null

  note: >-
    First-party and documented, distributed as a binary release repository with no Maven
    Central coordinates, so no registry metadata endpoint answers. Repository last pushed
    2021-09-30 — checked, nothing to record.
- name: bitly_api
  language: Python
  registry: pypi
  url: https://pypi.org/project/bitly_api/
  repository: https://github.com/bitly/bitly-api-python
  official: true
  deprecated: true
  version: '0.3'
  published: '2013-08-01'
  note: >-
    First-party but ABANDONED. GitHub repository is archived (last push 2021-04-09) and the
    last PyPI release predates the v4 API by nine years. Bitly ships no current first-party
    Python client.
- name: mcp-remote
  language: JavaScript/TypeScript
  registry: npm
  url: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote
  official: false
  version: null
  published: null
  note: >-
    Not a Bitly package. Named here only because Bitly's own MCP configuration docs instruct
    stdio-only clients to run `npx mcp-remote https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/mcp` as a proxy to
    the hosted server. Third-party; version deliberately not pinned by Bitly's docs.
