  Centene publishes no client libraries. Searched npm (registry search for "centene"), PyPI
  (/pypi/centene/json returned 404), and the developer portal's own catalogue and Getting Started
  documents, which offer raw curl examples and nothing else. There is no SDK, SourceCode or CLI
  link anywhere in the record to derive candidates from.
  github.com/Centene was checked and is NOT Centene Corporation - it is a personal account
  (schema.org/Person) whose repositories are unrelated Spanish-language coursework projects
  (Facturacion-Ivann, Facturacion-con-menu, pepete, AppWeb, Combo, NewRepo2). No Centene
  Corporation GitHub organization was found.

      Personal user account, not the corporation. Six unrelated repositories. This is a false
      pointer, not an SDK source.
mitigating_context:
  note: >-
    For a FHIR payer this is less damaging than a zero would normally be. Centene's two marquee
    APIs are HL7 FHIR R4, and mature open-source FHIR clients already speak that contract without
    any vendor SDK - HAPI FHIR (Java), fhirclient (Python), fhir.js and @types/fhir
    (JavaScript), Firely .NET SDK. An integrator is not blocked; they are just using someone
    else's library.
  third_party_generic_clients:
    - name: HAPI FHIR
      language: java
      official: false
      note: Not a Centene package. Listed as context only - Centene's own server runs HAPI FHIR 7.0.0.
    - name: fhirclient
      language: python
      official: false
      note: Not a Centene package. Context only.
gaps:
  - No first-party SDK in any language.
  - No published Postman collection or OpenAPI-generated client.
  - No GitHub organization to host one.
