  The Appalachian Regional Commission publishes no client libraries and has no code presence at all.
  There is no ARC GitHub organization, no SDK, no CLI and no first-party package in any registry.
  Consumers of either ARC surface call it with a plain HTTP client, or with a generic third-party
  library for the underlying platform.

    description: >-
      GeoJSON file of counties in Appalachia, as defined by the Appalachian Regional Commission.
    note: >-
      A community redistribution of ARC's county definition, not an ARC package and not a client for
      either ARC API. Last published 2021-03-22 — more than five years stale against a county
      definition ARC itself revises, and against the live arc_counties feature service (423 features
      on 2026-09-07) that supersedes it. Recorded as an abandonment signal about the ecosystem
      around ARC's data, not as an ARC artifact.
generic_clients:
  - note: >-
      ARC's WordPress surface is reachable with any WordPress REST client (for example @wordpress/api-fetch
      on npm, or python-wordpress-xmlrpc's REST successors). These are WordPress project or community
      packages, not ARC's, and none is listed here as an ARC package.
  - note: >-
      ARC's geospatial surface is reachable with Esri's own client libraries (@esri/arcgis-rest-request,
      the arcgis Python API). Those are Esri packages; ARC neither publishes nor endorses a client.
