  Registry sweep for first-party Sharethrough client libraries. There are none. Every major
  registry was queried unauthenticated and returned zero Sharethrough-published packages. The
  only first-party client code Sharethrough ships is an unpackaged Python example repository
  and the bidder adapter it maintains inside Prebid.js, which is distributed under Prebid's
  npm package rather than Sharethrough's own.

      no first-party module. github.com/sharethrough/prebid-server-inv-growth and
      prebid-server-java-inventory-growth are forks of the Prebid Server projects, not
      published client libraries.
packages: []
unpackaged_first_party_clients:
  - name: publisher-api-examples
    kind: example client (not a package)
    language: Python
    repository: https://github.com/strchives/publisher-api-examples
    original_url: https://github.com/sharethrough/publisher-api-examples
    registry: null
    version: null
    published: null

    description: >-
      Sharethrough's own example requests for the Publisher API — a pipenv project with
      libs/auth.py (bearer auth), libs/publisher_api.py (POST + CSV/JSON writer) and
      run_programmatic.py / run_direct_sell.py.
    currency_note: >-
      Not published to PyPI, so there is no registry metadata to read; version and published
      are recorded as null because there is nothing to record, not because they were not
      checked. Last commit 2020-12-24, and the repository has since been moved from the
      sharethrough org to strchives ("Sharethrough archives"), which is an explicit
      archival signal.
    decay: >-
      STRONG. setup.py hard-codes PUB_API_URL = 'https://publisher-api.sharethrough.com/v1'.
      That base now returns a plain-text 503 on every path; the live surface is /v2. The
      provider's only published client no longer works as shipped.
  - name: sharethroughBidAdapter
    kind: upstream module (not a Sharethrough-published package)
    language: JavaScript
    repository: https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js
    path: modules/sharethroughBidAdapter.js
    registry: npm
    distributed_as: prebid.js
    version: '4.3.0'
    version_source: 'the VERSION constant declared inside the adapter source'
    published: null
    official: true
    official_note: >-
      Authored and maintained by Sharethrough, but released on Prebid's cadence inside the
      prebid.js npm package. It is not a Sharethrough-namespaced package and cannot be
      installed on its own, so it is not counted toward official_package_count.
    currency_note: >-
      published is null because the adapter has no independent release record — its ship date
      is whatever Prebid.js release carried it. Actively maintained: the module currently
      imports libraries/equativUtils/equativUtils.js and can route to the Equativ exchange.
  - name: sharethroughAnalyticsAdapter
    kind: upstream module (not a Sharethrough-published package)
    language: JavaScript
    repository: https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js
    path: modules/sharethroughAnalyticsAdapter.js
    registry: npm
    distributed_as: prebid.js
    version: null
    published: null
    official: true
    currency_note: >-
      Present in the Prebid.js tree (HTTP 200 on the raw file) and documented at
      docs.prebid.org/dev-docs/analytics/sharethrough.html. Same distribution caveat as the
      bid adapter; no independent version to read.
github_org:
  url: https://github.com/sharethrough
  public_repos: 14
  observation: >-
    The org's active repositories are Prebid forks (Prebid.js, Prebid.js-inventory-growth,
    prebid-server-inv-growth, prebid-server-java-inventory-growth,
    prebid.github.io-team-inventory-growth) plus a Swift in-app tester. There is no client
    SDK repository for either Sharethrough API.
notes:
  - >-
    No SDKs pointer is emitted for this provider. official_package_count is 0 and crediting
    an SDK count would be a fabrication.
  - >-
    A first-party client whose hard-coded base URL is dead is the clearest abandonment
    evidence in this profile, and it is the provider's own artifact — not an inference.
