  PAR Punchh publishes NO first-party client SDK on any public package registry.
  Its published distribution channel for API consumers is a set of forkable
  Postman collections in the "PAR Tech APIs (Official)" workspace, plus sample
  code snippets embedded in the developer-portal documentation. This is an honest
  zero, established by direct registry queries — not a gap in the search.

    note: >-
      Zero results for "punchh". Searches for "par-punchh" and "partech" returned
      only unrelated third-party packages (a parsing-techniques library, an
      unrelated 2019 "partech" stub).

  - registry: rubygems
    endpoint: https://rubygems.org/api/v1/search.json?query=punchh
    result: empty array
    version: null
    note: Notable, because the Punchh platform itself is a Ruby on Rails application.

    note: >-
      Checked because Punchh ships branded mobile apps and the mobile API assumes
      a native client; no public iOS pod is published. Any Punchh mobile SDK is
      distributed to certified partners privately.

  first_party_sdks: 0
  note: >-
    The github.com/punchh organization is real and active, but every public repo
    is a fork of a third-party library (react-native-*, gh-ost, doorkeeper,
    Alamofire, FuelSDK-Ruby, odbc_adapter and similar). It contains no Punchh API
    client, no OpenAPI definitions and no sample integration. The most recently
    pushed repos are infrastructure forks, not developer-facing artifacts.

    note: >-
      PAR documents forking these collections as the supported way to exercise the
      APIs, and warns that they are a work in progress and do not cover every
      endpoint. Running them requires API keys obtained from a Punchh
      representative.

    languages: [Java, Objective-C]
    note: >-
      The portal embeds copy-paste sample code for generating the
      punchh-app-device-id header (Android/Java and iOS/Objective-C) and an
      interactive x-pch-digest generator, but these are snippets, not a packaged
      library.
