note: >-
  LinkedIn ships two first-party API client libraries (JavaScript and Python), both published under the
  shared name "linkedin-api-client" and maintained in the linkedin-developers GitHub org. Third-party
  libraries (e.g. tomquirk's linkedin-api on PyPI) are NOT first-party and are recorded separately with
  official: false.
currency_finding: >-
  CURRENCY GAP. Both first-party SDKs are still on 0.3.0 — npm published 2023-02-07 and PyPI published
  2023-06-29, read from the registry metadata endpoints on 2026-08-13. The API they wrap ships a NEW
  monthly version every month and the current Linkedin-Version is 202607, so the officially maintained
  clients predate roughly three years of versioned API releases. Version pinning in these clients cannot
  reflect any API surface added since mid-2023.

  official: true
  note: >-
    Official Java sample application (reference implementation, not a published Maven Central artifact).
    version/published are null because there is no package-registry metadata endpoint to query — the
    distribution is a git clone, so a consumer cannot pin a release either.

  version: null
  published: null

  official: true
  note: >-
    Google Tag Manager template for streaming conversion events to the Conversions API. Distributed
    through the GTM community template gallery and GitHub, not a package registry; version/published are
    null because no registry metadata endpoint exists for it.
