  npm registry search + registry.npmjs.org, pypi.org, crates.io, hex.pm, GitHub code search, and
  the H1 API docs (https://ribbon.readme.io/llms.txt)
summary: >-
  Ribbon Health / H1 publishes NO first-party client library in any registry. Three community
  clients exist, one of which is published to crates.io and self-describes as unofficial. No
  `SDKs` pointer is emitted for this provider — sdk_count is a genuine zero, not a missing
  pointer.
official_sdk_count: 0
package_count: 3
registries_searched:
  - registry: npm
    result: no first-party package; `ribbon-health`, `ribbonhealth`, `@ribbonhealth/sdk` all 404
  - registry: pypi
    result: no first-party package; `ribbon-health`, `ribbonhealth`, `ribbon-api` all 404
  - registry: crates.io
    result: one community crate, `ribbon-health` (see below)
  - registry: hex.pm
    result: no package; `ribbonex` 404 — the Elixir client is GitHub-only, never published
  - registry: rubygems / packagist / nuget / maven / pkg.go.dev
    result: no package found
docs_evidence: >-
  The H1 API documentation index (llms.txt, 122 pages) contains no SDK, client-library, or
  quickstart-install page. The published integration path is raw HTTP with a bearer token, and
  the docs recommend Postman for exploration rather than a client library.
packages:

    note: >-
      Community client by an individual maintainer (nikothomas). The crate's own description on
      crates.io begins "Unofficial Rust client for the Ribbon Health API". Currency read from
      https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/ribbon-health on 2026-08-14. This repository's apis.yml
      previously carried this GitHub repo under a `GitHub` pointer as though it were H1's own
      organization; that pointer was corrected in this pass to the verified H1 org
      (https://github.com/h1insights) and the client moved here.

    note: >-
      Community client published by AristaMD (an H1/Ribbon customer), source-only. Never released
      to hex.pm — https://hex.pm/api/packages/ribbonex returns 404 — so there is no registry
      metadata endpoint to read a version or release date from. Last commit to the default branch
      2026-02-21. version/published recorded as null because they were checked and do not exist,
      not because they were skipped.

    official: false
    version: null
    published: null
    note: >-
      Community TypeScript client by Arlo. Not published to npm (no matching package in the npm
      registry), so no version metadata endpoint exists. Repository last pushed 2023-08-04 —
      roughly three years stale against an API that has since shipped an entire Price Transparency
      v2 surface, so this client cannot cover the current contract.
abandonment_signal: >-
  The only registry-published client (crates.io ribbon-health 2.7.1, 2025-10-03) predates the
  Price Transparency v2 endpoints documented in the provider's own llms.txt and confirmed live on
  api.ribbonhealth.com/v2/* in this pass. No community client covers v2, and the provider ships
  none. An integrator's only current option is hand-rolled HTTP.
