  Zendesk maintains a small set of first-party client libraries. The PHP client
  carries the "Official Zendesk API v2 client library" designation; the Ruby
  client and the ZCLI command-line tool are published under the zendesk GitHub
  org and the @zendesk npm scope. Popular libraries for Node.js (node-zendesk)
  and Python (Zenpy) are community-maintained and are recorded here as
  official:false for completeness.
