note: >
  Vidyard ships NO server-side API client library in any language. The two
  first-party npm packages are browser/player tooling for the embed surface,
  not SDKs for the Dashboard, Video Agent or Analytics Webhook REST APIs — a
  developer calling those APIs writes raw HTTP. This is the single largest
  ergonomics gap in Vidyard's developer surface. Registry currency was read
  from registry.npmjs.org, pypi.org and rubygems.org metadata endpoints on
  2026-08-13.

      Declared in package.json as Vidyard/vidyard-player-sdk (directory
      packages/embed-code) but the GitHub API returns 404 for that repo — the
      monorepo is private. The published package is public; its source is not.

    repository: null
    repository_status: >
      package.json declares git+https://github.com/Development/vy-cli.git,
      which is not a Vidyard-owned path and does not resolve. No public source.

      Scoped to the @vidyard npm org with the same maintainer set as
      @vidyard/embed-code, including the vidyard-npm-ci publisher account.

      ABANDONMENT SIGNAL — last published 2021-05-13, over five years stale, and
      it wraps only CTA development, not the REST APIs. Not referenced from any
      current Vidyard documentation page. See cli/vidyard-cli.yml.

    note: >
      Unpinned CDN distribution — the URL floats to whatever v4 build Vidyard
      currently serves, so a consumer cannot determine which version they load
      and neither can this pipeline. There is no jsDelivr/unpkg metadata
      endpoint for a vendor-hosted path. The major version (v4) is the only
      guarantee in the contract. Recorded as null deliberately: checked,
      nothing versioned to record.
