  https://dev.elsevier.com/support.html (the only SDK Elsevier links from its developer
  portal), https://github.com/ElsevierDev (the first-party GitHub organisation),
  https://pypi.org/pypi/elsapy/json (registry metadata), and
  https://api.github.com/users/ElsevierDev/repos (repository state), all fetched 2026-09-06.
note: >-
  Elsevier links exactly one client library from its developer portal and disclaims it in the
  same sentence: "There is a basic SDK available for the RP APIs at GitHub. Please note this
  SDK is not supported by Elsevier." (dev.elsevier.com/support.html). Every repository in the
  ElsevierDev GitHub organisation — all five of them — is ARCHIVED. There is no npm, Maven,
  NuGet, RubyGems, Packagist, crates.io or Go module published under an Elsevier namespace;
  those registries were checked and returned nothing first-party.
packages:
- name: elsapy
  language: Python
  registry: pypi
  official: true
  supported: false
  url: https://pypi.org/project/elsapy/
  repository: https://github.com/ElsevierDev/elsapy
  version: 0.5.1
  published: '2022-11-09'
  license: BSD-3-Clause
  covers:

  description: >-
    A Python module for use with Elsevier's APIs — Scopus, ScienceDirect and others. Wraps
    the X-ELS-APIKey / insttoken auth model and the search + retrieval endpoints.
  note: >-
    First-party by authorship (published from the ElsevierDev organisation) but explicitly
    unsupported by Elsevier's own documentation. The GitHub repository is ARCHIVED and
    read-only; last commit and last PyPI release are both 2022-11-09, which is nearly four
    years behind the API surface it wraps and predates every SciVal topic-cluster and
    ScienceDirect Search V2 change now in the published contracts.

  description: Scopus API-based RSS replica.
  note: >-
    Never published to a package registry, so there is no metadata endpoint to read a version
    from — `version: null` here means checked and none exists, not unchecked. The repository
    is ARCHIVED; the date recorded is the last push.

  description: >-
    A Node.js program for api.elsevier.com demonstrating interoperability between the Scopus
    and SciVal APIs.

  note: >-
    A fork living in the Elsevier organisation, not an Elsevier product — the maintained
    upstream is community-run. ARCHIVED here. official:false for that reason.
