  PyPI + npm registry metadata endpoints, the BrandwatchLtd GitHub organization
  (https://github.com/BrandwatchLtd), and the Brandwatch developer docs
  "Best practices & our terms" page which names the Python utility library.
note: >-
  Brandwatch ships client libraries but has stopped maintaining them. Every
  first-party package below was last published between 2018 and 2022 — the most
  recent, bcr-api 1.5.1, is four years old, while the Consumer Research API it
  wraps shipped documented changes as recently as 2026-03-24
  (see changelog/brandwatch-changelog.yml). There is no first-party SDK for any
  language other than Python and JavaScript, and no SDK at all for the Analysis
  API or the Data Upload API.

    note: >-
      npm `author` is "Brandwatch Ltd" and the maintainer set includes the
      `brandwatch` and `stevem.brandwatch` npm accounts, so this is first-party.
      Still pre-1.0 after four years; no repository field is set on the package
      itself, though BrandwatchLtd/node-brandwatch-api matches by name and
      description.

      Third-party, NOT Brandwatch. Sole npm maintainer is `zhangtao_pivotal`;
      the package declares no repository, no homepage, no license, no author,
      and its newest version is a `-dev` prerelease from a single day of
      publishing. Recorded here so a future pass does not mistake it for a
      first-party MCP server. See mcp/brandwatch-mcp.yml.
