  First-party Budibase SDK, CLI and platform packages published to npm under the
  @budibase scope from the Budibase/budibase monorepo. There is exactly ONE first-party
  HTTP SDK for the Public API — @budibase/sdk, a swagger-codegen build of the same
  packages/server/specs/openapi.yaml this repo harvests — and it is browser-only.
  Budibase publishes no Python, Ruby, Java, Go, .NET, PHP or Rust client; beyond npm the
  only other first-party distribution is Docker images and a Helm chart for self-hosting.

  description: >-
    Budibase Public API SDK — the only first-party HTTP client for
    https://budibase.app/api/public/v1. Generated by swagger-codegen from
    packages/server/specs/openapi.yaml, exposing per-tag API classes
    (ApplicationsApi, TablesApi, RowsApi, UsersApi, QueriesApi) configured with
    configure({ apiKey, host }).
  wraps: openapi/budibase-public-api-openapi.yml
  caveat: >-
    The generated code runs in a browser only — the package README states it is not
    currently usable in a Node.js environment, which means an agent or server-side
    integration has no first-party client and must call the REST API directly.

  description: >-
    The original unscoped Budibase CLI. Last published 2020-04-02 and superseded by
    @budibase/cli — recorded here because the name is still resolvable and a consumer
    could install a six-year-old package by mistake.
findings:
- >-
  Budibase ships exactly one first-party HTTP SDK — @budibase/sdk (JavaScript,
  browser-only) — generated from its own OpenAPI. Every other @budibase npm package is a
  piece of the platform itself (CLI, client runtime, UI kit, backend services), not an
  API client. sdk_count is 1 language, not 3.
- >-
  Currency is healthy: six of the eight packages were published 2026-08-31, the same day
  as platform release v3.44.0, so the npm surface tracks the product release train.
- >-
  @budibase/client last shipped 2026-05-12 (3.38.1) while the rest of the scope moved to
  3.44.0 — a deliberate divergence for the in-app runtime, not obvious abandonment.
