description: 'Philo is a US live-television streaming service founded at Harvard in 2010 as Tivli, renamed in 2013 after television
  inventor Philo T. Farnsworth, and launched to the public in 2017. Headquartered at 225 Green Street in San Francisco, it
  delivers 70+ entertainment and lifestyle channels, 75,000+ on-demand titles, 120+ free ad-supported channels, and unlimited
  one-year DVR from $25/month across web, iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and Chromecast, with TV Everywhere sign-in
  to partner network apps. Philo publishes no public developer program: its product GraphQL endpoint at www.philo.com/graphql
  is live but has introspection disabled, and the only machine-readable documents it serves are IAB Tech Lab advertising-transparency
  files (ads.txt, app-ads.txt, sellers.json), an RFC 9116 security.txt, and an Instatus status page with a JSON API.'

  detail: Philo ships only a consumer streaming product — there is no developer.philo.com or api.philo.com (neither hostname
    resolves), and the one API-shaped surface, the Apollo GraphQL endpoint its own apps call at www.philo.com/graphql, answers
    200 but rejects introspection with "GraphQL introspection has been disabled".
