summary: >-
  Sinclair publishes no client libraries. There is no first-party SDK on npm, PyPI,
  Maven Central, NuGet, RubyGems, crates.io, Packagist or pkg.go.dev for any Sinclair
  API, which is consistent with there being no developer program to build one for.
  Sinclair's two GitHub organizations contain one non-fork repository between them, a
  2017 typeahead component that has nothing to do with any Sinclair API.

      The npm scope @sinclair belongs to an individual developer named Sinclair and has
      no connection to Sinclair, Inc. or Sinclair Broadcast Group. It is the top hit on
      every registry search for "sinclair" and must never be credited to this company.

    note: >-
      The single public repository, react-typeahead, is a fork-style copy of a generic
      React component last pushed 2017-09-12. No Sinclair API code, no SDK.
  - org: SinclairDigital

    public_repos: 10
    website: sinclairconnected.com
    first_party_repos: 0
    forks: 10
    note: >-
      Every one of the ten repositories is a fork (live-stream-on-aws,
      terraform-provider-aws, appstoreconnect, swaggerize-express, exif-js,
      react-sortable-hoc, eslint-plugin-ramda, hard-source-webpack-plugin, athom_web,
      sinclair-feed-specifications). Latest push across the org is 2021-11-11. The
      org's stated website sinclairconnected.com did not resolve on 2026-08-12, so
      this org's relationship to Sinclair, Inc. is not independently confirmed — only
      the feed-specifications repository names the company in its own content.

      Judged by what it says about itself, not where it was fetched: the README opens
      "This is the documentation for providing linear feeds and VOD to the Sinclair
      Broadcast Group Digital Platform", naming this company explicitly. It is
      recorded here rather than as an API entry because it is a partner content-ingest
      contract, not a callable API, and because it lives on a forked repository last
      touched 2021-11-11 with no indication Sinclair still operates the program.
    contents:
      - sinclair-linear-feed-spec.md
      - sinclair-vod-feed-spec.md
      - sinclair-hls-technical-spec.md
      - 'rovi-docs-and-xml/RoviExternalListings.xsd (Rovi''s schema, not Sinclair''s)'
    description: >-
      Requirements for a content partner to deliver linear FAST channels and VOD to
      Sinclair's digital platform: an HLS stream with SCTE-35 ad markers and embedded
      608 closed captions, a program schedule file, and a publicly-reachable JSON VOD
      structure feed. The closest thing Sinclair has ever published to an integration
      contract.
    currency_signal: >-
      Last push 2021-11-11, five years stale, on a fork of a fork. Do not treat as a
      live program without confirming with Sinclair directly.

sdks_pointer_note: >-
  No type SDKs pointer is wired in apis.yml because there is no official SDK. Emitting
  one would credit Sinclair with a client library it does not ship.
