description: The U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM) is the official export credit agency of the United States federal government.
  It assists in financing and facilitating U.S. exports of goods and services by providing export credit insurance, working
  capital guarantees, loan guarantees and direct loans to help American businesses compete in the global marketplace. EXIM
  operates no public API. Its former Socrata/SODA open data portal at data.exim.gov was decommissioned on 2023-09-14 by EXIM's
  own announcement and the host no longer resolves; what remains is a Project Open Data v1.1 (DCAT-US) catalog pointing at
  a quarterly CSV of every authorization approved since FY2007, distributed through Data.gov. A separate OCLC CONTENTdm tenant
  serves EXIM's historical archives over CONTENTdm and IIIF Presentation API 2.0 endpoints at an exim.gov address.

  description: 'EXIM''s entire programmatic open-data footprint: a Project Open Data v1.1 (DCAT-US) catalog at data.json listing
    one public dataset — every EXIM authorization approved from 10/01/2006 to the current reporting quarter — with a quarterly
    CSV distribution and a PDF data dictionary. Anonymous HTTPS GET, no key, no quota. This is FILE DISTRIBUTION, NOT A QUERY
    API: the SODA/SoQL interface that once served this data at data.exim.gov was decommissioned on 2023-09-14. The CSV filename
    carries the fiscal quarter, so consumers must re-read data.json rather than pinning the download URL.'

  detail: EXIM retired its only programmatic surface — the Socrata/SODA portal at data.exim.gov — on 2023-09-14 by its own
    published announcement, and the host now has no DNS record at all; what replaced it is a quarterly CSV behind a Project
    Open Data catalog, so there is no endpoint left to document.
