      description: 'List supported bookmakers with their integration status.


        Status values. These are INTEGRATION states, not liveness readings:

        active Wired up and served on the endpoints listed.

        merged Brand merged into another active bookmaker (see merged_into).

        decommissioned Bookmaker shut down or no longer publicly accessible.

        not_yet_integrated Known book we haven''t wired up yet.

        suppressed A key we publish but serve on no endpoint.

        retired Operator closed. Not served on any live endpoint;

        its closing-line archive stays queryable on the

        historical endpoints (see the note).


        `active` says the book is integrated, not that it is writing rows this

        minute. Whether a book is flowing is computed from the data by

        GET /v1/bookmakers/{key}/freshness (`is_live`) and by

        GET /v1/meta/book-catalog (`live`, `rows_24h`). An active book that is

        not currently producing carries a `note` saying so; read the note before

        building a filter around a single book.


        Defaults to only active books. Pass ?all=true to see merged / decommissioned

        entries plus the explanation note for each.


        By default each book carries an `endpoints` array (game_lines / live /

        props / prediction / event_markets / historical) plus `example_paths`

        showing how to query it. Pass `?include_endpoints=false` for the lean

        catalog without those.
