summary:
  first_party_published_sdks: 0
  note: 'Plex, Inc. publishes no client SDK to any package registry. This was probed
    directly, not assumed: the three packages listed as "official SDKs" on the
    community documentation site plexapi.dev — @plexapi/sdk on npm, plexapi-sdk on
    PyPI and github.com/plexapi/plexapi-go — all return 404 on their registries.
    Every working Plex client library below is community-maintained. No SDKs pointer
    is emitted in apis.yml, because emitting one would credit Plex with an SDK
    programme it does not have.'
