ARC API Discovery is one of 7 APIs that [Appalachian Regional Commission](https://apis.io/providers/appalachian-regional-commission/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Discovery, Metadata, and Open Data. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and an API reference.

The self-describing route index for the arc.gov WordPress REST API — 371 routes across 16 namespaces, each with its HTTP methods and full argument schemas, returned as a single 596 KB JSON document. It is the closest thing the Appalachian Regional Commission publishes to a machine-readable contract, and every derived OpenAPI in this record was built from it.
