  U.S. DOT publishes NO first-party client SDK for any of its public APIs. npm, PyPI,
  RubyGems, Maven Central, NuGet, crates.io, Packagist and pkg.go.dev were all searched
  for "faa", "usdot", "us-dot", "bts" and "socrata" scoped or authored by the department
  and none returned a package published by DOT, FAA or BTS. The department's own GitHub
  presence (github.com/usdot-jpo-ode) ships deployable Java/C++ services and ASN.1/JSON
  Schema specifications, not consumer client libraries. Everything listed below is
  third-party — official: false in every row. No SDKs pointer is emitted for this
  provider because there is no first-party client library to point at.

    npm registry search (nhtsa, fmcsa, fra, vpic, socrata), PyPI, and the developer sites
    for the surfaces discovered in this round — NHTSA vPIC, NHTSA Safety, FRA Safety Data
    Web Services and FMCSA QCMobile.
  finding: >-
    Unchanged. Not one first-party client library exists for any newly discovered DOT
    surface either. NHTSA ships no SDK for vPIC despite it being the most widely consumed
    API in the department; FMCSA ships no SDK; FRA ships WSDL and expects you to generate
    your own stub. The community has filled the gap around NHTSA specifically, which is
    the clearest demand signal in this whole provider — eight distinct npm packages wrap
    an API its publisher provides no client for.

  sdks_pointer_emitted: false
  sdks_pointer_reason: >-
    Still zero first-party client libraries across the entire department. Emitting an
    `SDKs` pointer would credit U.S. DOT for work the community did instead of it.
