  National Grid Electricity Distribution publishes no first-party client library
  in any package registry. Its API Guidance page ships two downloadable code
  EXAMPLES — a Python 3.8 script and a cURL script — but neither is a versioned,
  installable package, and neither is registered anywhere. Because the developer
  surface is a stock CKAN 2.9.8 Action API, the practical client is the
  community-maintained generic CKAN tooling, which is third-party and not
  attributable to NGED. No `SDKs` pointer is wired: there is no official SDK to
  count.
