title: AmeriCorps Datasets API — API Evangelist enhancements
version: 1.0.0
extends: ../openapi/americorps-datasets-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. Anonymous access returns full data. Row schema is per-dataset and is NOT
in this contract — discover it at runtime from X-SODA2-Fields / X-SODA2-Types.
x-type-fidelity-warning: >-
Numeric columns are returned as JSON STRINGS by this endpoint ("all":"0.9035") even
though X-SODA2-Types declares them "number". The OData v4 representation of the same
dataset (https://data.americorps.gov/api/odata/v4/{dataset_id}) returns real JSON
numbers. A client that assumes numbers here will fail.
- target: $.paths['/resource/{dataset_id}.json'].get
update:
x-agentic-access:
action-class: connected
consequence: read
subject: optional
token:
max-ttl: 3600
audit: none
x-pagination:
style: limit-offset
params:
- $limit
- $offset
max_limit: 50000
envelope: none
warning: >-
Always pair $limit/$offset with an explicit $order. Without a stable sort, paging a
mutating dataset can repeat or skip rows.
x-caching:
etag: true
last_modified: true
detail: >-
Weak ETag and Last-Modified are returned. Use If-None-Match / If-Modified-Since —
most AmeriCorps datasets change a few times a year, so this is the largest single
saving available to a polling client.

Too Many Requests. Documented at dev.socrata.com/docs/response-codes.html.

update:
x-importance: >-
Effectively required whenever $offset is used. Socrata does not guarantee a stable
row order without it.
