  VBOUT client libraries and platform plugins, re-checked against the registry
  metadata endpoints on 2026-08-13. The developer portal states "Currently we
  only support PHP code libraries to interact with our API" and links one
  official PHP helper library. THE DECAY SIGNAL IS THE HEADLINE: that official
  PHP library's last commit is 2016-08-04 — ten years before this check, and
  years before the AIchatbot, Pipeline and ecommerce families that now make up a
  third of the API. The Magento plugin last moved in 2021. Only the WordPress
  plugin is maintained in the current decade. No PyPI, RubyGems, Maven, NuGet,
  Go, or crates.io packages exist; pypi.org/pypi/vbout returns 404.
packages:
  - language: php
    registry: github
    name: VboutAPI
    url: https://github.com/irajab/VboutAPI
    install: 'Download: https://github.com/irajab/VBOUTAPI/archive/master.zip'
    official: true
    version: null
    published: '2016-08-04'
    version_note: >-
      No tags and no releases — the GitHub tags API returns an empty array, so
      there is no version to record. `published` is the last push date
      (2016-08-04T08:16:59Z) from api.github.com/repos/irajab/VboutAPI. Ten
      years stale, 1 star, distributed as a master-branch zip. This is the ONLY
      client library VBOUT's own portal calls official.
    notes: >-
      Linked from https://developers.vbout.com/libraries as the official PHP
      helper library. Hosted on a personal account (irajab), not the vbout org.

    published: '2025-01-02'
    version_note: >-
      No tagged release — Packagist lists only dev-master, so there is no
      semantic version to pin. `published` is the package's Packagist `time`
      field (2025-01-02T09:09:07+00:00). 350 total downloads, 19/month.
    notes: Community PHP client (github.com/podcasthosting/vbout-api-client).

      third-party wrapper is 10 years fresher than VBOUT's own official library.
