  Timescale/Tiger Data does not ship a general-purpose REST client SDK for the Tiger
  Cloud API — the first-party programmatic client is the Go-based Tiger CLI, whose
  internal API client is generated with oapi-codegen from the same openapi.yaml
  harvested into openapi/. The published libraries below are database-side helpers
  (TypeScript ORM plugins, Python vector/AI libraries, a Ruby ActiveRecord gem) plus
  the CLI distribution channels. Third-party lookalikes were checked and excluded:
  npm `tiger-cli` is an unrelated Angular scaffolder and PyPI `timescaledb` is a
  community client by jmitchel3, neither is first-party.
