description: >-
  First-party ScrapingAnt client libraries and integration packages, with the latest published
  version and release date read from each registry's metadata endpoint on 2026-08-29. The
  headline finding is decay: both language SDKs are materially behind the API they wrap. The
  JavaScript client last shipped in May 2022 and the Python client in July 2024, while the API
  gained /v2/markdown, /v2/extract, /v2/extended and a hosted MCP server after those dates -
  so neither SDK covers the endpoints ScrapingAnt now leads its marketing with. The packages
  that ARE current are the integration nodes (n8n, GitHub Action), not the SDKs.
packages:
- name: scrapingant-client
  registry: pypi
  url: https://pypi.org/project/scrapingant-client/
  language: Python
  official: true
  version: 2.1.0
  published: '2024-07-16'
  repository: https://github.com/ScrapingAnt/scrapingant-client-python
  docs: https://docs.scrapingant.com/python-client
  license: Apache-2.0
  install: pip install scrapingant-client
  versions_published: 5
  note: >-
    Official Python client. Latest release 2.1.0 (2024-07-16) predates the AI extractor,
    Markdown endpoint and MCP server, so those surfaces are not wrapped.
- name: '@scrapingant/scrapingant-client'
  registry: npm
  url: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@scrapingant/scrapingant-client
  language: JavaScript
  official: true
  version: 0.2.1
  published: '2022-05-06'
  repository: https://github.com/ScrapingAnt/scrapingant-client-js
  docs: https://docs.scrapingant.com/js-client
  install: npm i @scrapingant/scrapingant-client
  note: >-
    Official JavaScript/Node client, still on a 0.x version and unreleased for over four years
    as of this pass. The strongest abandonment signal in this repo: the GitHub source repo's
    last push (2022-05-06) matches the last npm publish exactly.
- name: n8n-nodes-scrapingant
  registry: npm
  url: https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-scrapingant
  language: TypeScript
  official: true
  version: 0.1.6
  published: '2026-04-14'
  repository: https://github.com/ScrapingAnt/n8n-nodes-scrapingant
  docs: https://docs.scrapingant.com/n8n-integration
  install: npm i n8n-nodes-scrapingant
  kind: integration-node
  note: >-
    n8n community node published by the ScrapingAnt org. Current - shipped four months before
    this pass.
- name: scrapingant-scrape-action
  registry: github-marketplace
  url: https://github.com/ScrapingAnt/scrapingant-scrape-action
  language: JavaScript
  official: true
  version: null
  published: '2026-04-03'
  repository: https://github.com/ScrapingAnt/scrapingant-scrape-action
  docs: https://docs.scrapingant.com/github-action
  kind: github-action
  note: >-
    GitHub Action that scrapes pages as HTML, Markdown, or AI-extracted JSON in CI. Distributed
    through the GitHub Marketplace, which has no version metadata endpoint to query - `version`
    is null because there is nothing to read, and `published` is the repository's last push
    date from api.github.com, not a release tag. Consumers pin it by git ref.

    following docs.scrapingant.com/js-client in 2026 installs a client last touched in 2022.
