name: Ground News client libraries and packages
description: >-
  Ground News publishes no first-party client library in any package registry, and has
  no GitHub organisation. This follows directly from having no public API: there is no
  contract for an SDK to wrap. official_count and package_count are both honest zeros,
  and NO SDKs pointer is emitted in apis.yml — an SDKs pointer would assert client
  libraries that do not exist. Ground News does ship first-party software (iOS and
  Android apps, and a bias-checker browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge), but
  those are end-user applications distributed through app stores, not developer
  packages; they are recorded in components/ground-components.yml under not_components
  so they cannot be miscounted as an SDK surface.

  rejected: true
  rejection_reason: >-
    OWNERSHIP CHECK FAILED — name collision only. github.com/snapWise is an
    organisation named "Berrinex", located in Austria, contact zohaib.ali@berrinex.com,
    created 2026-02-15, with zero public repositories. Ground News is built by Snapwise
    Inc. of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Different company; deliberately NOT recorded as
    Ground News' GitHub organisation and no GitHubOrganization pointer is emitted.
third_party_surfaces:
  note: >-
    Recorded as market context, not as a Ground News artifact. Because Ground News
    publishes no API, third parties resort to scraping it — an Apify actor
    ("Ground News Bias, Coverage & Sources Scraper") sells scraped Ground News bias and
    coverage data, and several AI-generated content-farm pages claim a "Ground News API"
    with sign-up instructions that do not correspond to anything Ground News publishes.
    None of these is first-party and none is recorded as a Ground News package.
