  Ofcom publishes no first-party client library for the Connected Nations
  Broadband and Mobile APIs on any public package registry. Registry probes
  returned nothing first-party: PyPI has no ofcom / ofcom-api / pyofcom package
  (404 on all three), and the npm search for "ofcom" surfaces only third-party
  work. Ofcom ships the OpenAPI documents and the Azure APIM developer portal and
  stops there — the community fills the SDK gap, which is the usual signature of a
  specification-first public-sector publisher.
