  https://github.com/whoapi + registry metadata endpoints (rubygems.org/api/v1,
  pypi.org/pypi, crandb.r-pkg.org, proxy.golang.org) — re-probed 2026-08-14
note: >-
  DECAY FINDING. Every WhoAPI client library — first-party and community — was
  last released between 2015 and 2016. The R client was ARCHIVED by CRAN on
  2021-02-16 at the maintainer's request. The Python distribution's release
  metadata still lists 0.1.2 but PyPI now serves NO files for any release, so
  `pip install whoapi` cannot resolve a distribution. The Ruby gem sits at
  0.1.0 from 2016-01-18 with no tags, even though its repository received a
  commit in 2023. The API itself is actively sold and actively documented (see
  plans/whoapi-plans-pricing.yml, priced through 2026), so the client layer is
  roughly a decade behind the product it wraps: none of these SDKs know about
  the domain-age, domain-score, email-score or webhook surfaces WhoAPI sells
  today. There is no npm, Packagist, Maven, NuGet or crates.io package.

    Only version ever published; the repository has no release tags despite a
    2023-06-30 push, so the shipped gem trails the source.

  note: >-
    version: 0.1.2 is the latest release recorded in PyPI metadata, but both
    releases (0.1, 0.1.2) have ZERO files on the index, so no upload date exists
    and the package is not installable. published: null is a checked-and-empty
    result, not an unchecked field.

    Untagged module — proxy.golang.org resolves only a pseudo-version pinned to
    the 2015-08-31 commit. Mirror of github.com/tg/whoapi (same pseudo-version);
    ships a client package and a command-line tool (see cli/whoapi-cli.yml).

    Community-authored R client mirrored under the WhoAPI GitHub org. CRAN
    states "Archived on 2021-02-16 at the request of the maintainer" — it is no
    longer installable from the main repository.

  note: >-
    WhoAPI's practical integration path is its per-language code-examples pages
    (PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Objective-C, C#, Java) rather than an
    installable SDK — snippets against a single GET endpoint, not packages.
