  npm, PyPI, RubyGems, crates.io and GitHub registry searches (all miss), plus
  proxy.golang.org module metadata, the GitHub Releases API for
  ihucos/counter.dev-selfhost, and the tracking-code snippet emitted by
  static/components/counter-trackingcode.js in ihucos/counter.dev.
provider: Counter
providerId: counter-dev

summary: >-
  Counter publishes no client SDK in any language package registry. Registry
  searches for npm, PyPI, RubyGems and crates.io all returned no first-party
  package (see registries_probed below). The only first-party distributables
  Counter ships are (a) the browser tracking snippet served unversioned from
  cdn.counter.dev, (b) the Go server module github.com/ihucos/counter.dev, and
  (c) the self-host CLI binary `cntr` published as a GitHub Release asset. None
  of the three is a client library for the /query or /dump data APIs — a
  consumer integrating against those endpoints writes plain HTTP by hand.
sdk_pointer_emitted: false
sdk_pointer_note: >-
  No `SDKs` pointer is wired in apis.yml. The tracking snippet is an embeddable
  browser component (recorded in components/counter-dev-components.yml), the Go
  module is the server itself, and the CLI is an operator tool for self-hosting
  — none is a client SDK, so claiming one would overstate what Counter ships.

    UNPINNED distribution — the install snippet Counter generates in its own
    dashboard (static/components/counter-trackingcode.js) hard-codes the
    unversioned URL https://cdn.counter.dev/script.js, so there is no version a
    consumer can pin to and no registry metadata endpoint to query. `version` is
    null because none is published, not because it was not checked. `published`
    is the Last-Modified header observed on the CDN asset
    (Wed, 29 Apr 2026 10:11:41 GMT), which is the only currency signal available.

    The Counter server itself, not a client library. The project cuts no semver
    tags or GitHub Releases on this repo (releases API returns 0, tags API
    returns 0), so proxy.golang.org resolves only a pseudo-version pinned to
    commit a431dec7c91a. AGPL-3.0.

    DECAY SIGNAL — the newest release asset is 0.2.1 from 2023-09-13, while the
    hosted server repo it accompanies was last pushed 2026-04-29. The self-host
    distribution is roughly three years behind the service, and its own README
    calls the self-hosted build "beta" with archiving not implemented.
