    Requirement: This property ensures that there is an SDK available for an
    API, making it easier for developers to integrate an API into their
    applications. To fix: Ensure `type` does NOT match the regular expression

    evaluated at the JSONPath `$.apis.*.properties.* | $.common.*` — inspect
