note: >-
  Lumen ships NO client library for the current Lumen Developer Center API products
  (Location, Quoting, Ordering, Service Inventory, Billing, Outbound Notification,
  Trouble Ticket). Every first-party package found belongs either to the legacy
  CenturyLink Cloud platform - last release 2022 on PyPI, 2016 on npm - or to Chi, the
  design system, which is not an API client. The gap between the live API gateway at
  api.lumen.com and the newest first-party SDK release is the finding.

      ABANDONED ON NPM. The npm package is pinned at 0.8.1 from 2018 while the source
      repository github.com/CenturyLink/Chi carries version 7.17.0 and was last pushed
      2026-09-03. jsDelivr confirms npm dist-tag latest is still 0.8.1. Anyone installing
      Chi from npm gets an eight-year-old release.

      The real, current distribution. Served from Lumen's own CDN at lib.lumen.com and
      version-pinned in the URL path; https://lib.lumen.com/chi/7.17.0/chi.css returns
      200 with 683,791 bytes of CSS (probed 2026-09-05). No registry metadata endpoint
      exists for a CDN build, so published is null: the version is read from the pinned
      URL and from package.json in the source repository, and no release date is
      published anywhere machine-readable.

    No SDK, in any language, for the OAuth-gated Lumen APIs served from api.lumen.com.
    A consumer integrating with Lumen today writes the HTTP client themselves.
