extends: ../openapi/americorps-catalog-api-openapi.yml
x-provenance:
generated: '2026-09-02'
method: generated
source: >-
API Evangelist enrichment pass. Every example below is a REAL response captured from
data.americorps.gov on 2026-09-02; every header and status added is one that was
observed on the wire or documented at dev.socrata.com. Nothing here is invented, and the
underlying OpenAPI is not mutated.
actions:
- target: $.info
update:
x-agent-notes: >-
Read-only API. No credential required; an optional Socrata application token in the
X-App-Token header only raises throttling headroom. Responses are bare JSON arrays
with no envelope, total count or cursor.
x-rate-limit-signal: >-
No X-RateLimit-*, RateLimit-* or Retry-After header is returned on any response. The
documented exhaustion status is 429; the documented remedy is a free app token.
x-error-envelope: >-
Proprietary JSON, not RFC 9457. Two shapes — {code,error,message,data} from the asset
tier and {message,errorCode,data} from the SoQL query coordinator.

max-ttl: 3600
audit: none
x-pagination:
style: page-number
params:
- limit
- page
max_limit: 200
envelope: none
detail: >-
Returns a bare array. Page until a short page comes back; there is no total count.

x-undeclared-fields: >-
The live response also returns assetType, displayType, viewType, publicationStage,
publicationDate, publicationGroup, provenance, owner, rights, grants, approvals,
flags, locked, metadata, clientContext, domainCName, tableId, tableAuthor,
rowsUpdatedBy, viewLastModified, averageRating, totalTimesRated, numberOfComments,
hideFromCatalog, hideFromDataJson, newBackend, diciBackend and oid. The schema
permits them via additionalProperties but does not name them.

X-Socrata-Region: aws-us-east-1-fedramp-prod
X-Socrata-RequestId: opaque request identifier, quote it when reporting a problem

'429':
description: >-
Too Many Requests. Documented at dev.socrata.com/docs/response-codes.html;
untokened callers share a per-IP pool. Not declared in the source contract.
'500':
description: >-
Server Error. Documented at dev.socrata.com/docs/response-codes.html. Not declared
in the source contract.
- target: $.components.schemas.View
update:
x-key: id
x-identifier-pattern: '^[a-z0-9]{4}-[a-z0-9]{4}$'
x-relationship: >-
View.id feeds the dataset_id path parameter of getDatasetJson, getDatasetCsv and
getViewMetadata. This is the only join in the API and the OpenAPI cannot express it.
x-timestamp-format: >-
createdAt and rowsUpdatedAt are UNIX epoch SECONDS as integers, not ISO-8601 strings.
