Find an Institution's Data Route
agent_access_routeOfficial machine routes to a public institution's data (an API, bulk files, a DCAT data.json catalog, a sitemap, a feed or a download page) as reviewed in Closed to Machines, a MORVS register of which public institutions serve an automated client that names itself and gives a contact address, what their robots rules say for each path checked, and where the official route to their data is (US federal agency hosts from the Federal Register's agency list, the 50 state legislatures, the G20 members' national government portals and national law sites, and MORVS's own two hosts; checked weekly by two clients, curl and Python urllib, from one residential US vantage, both sending the same identified user agent). Found by institution_or_host (a host, an institution's name as listed, a jurisdiction, an ISO 3166 code such as US-IL or EU, or a row ID such as federal:www.usda.gov), with optional record_type (a route type the register carries). For each matching row (up to 25): its route review state, kept apart (route: a reviewed route is listed; none_found: reviewed, with the places searched; not_reviewed: no review yet), and for each route its URL and type, the evidence that ties it to the institution (kind, URL, and whether it was re-checked this cycle), the one request's record, when it answered without a key and what that answer confirms, its terms URL (or unknown), its official domain, and the route path's own robots result for MORVS and by token group, evaluated under RFC 9309 from the route host's archived robots.txt. A route that answered once without a key does not show that the data works or may be reused. Nothing here grants permission: a robots rule is a request a site publishes, not a licence, and a page that answered certifies no deeper path. A refusal is the edge's response to this client at a stated time; the vendor named is the responder seen in headers, not the institution's policy, and no record shows a reason. "No answer" (DNS, connection, TLS or timeout) is never a refusal; none_found (reviewed, nothing found where listed) and not_reviewed are kept apart, and neither shows that no route exists. Each answer leads with uncertainty[], then as_of (the cycle date), vantage, the source page on morvs.ai and the licence, and carries the question, vantage, label, robots-not-licence and absence notes (and the self-row note for MORVS's own hosts) and the claim rules. Data more than 9 days old makes each robots verdict and next step unknown, with a note. A failed or malformed read of the register is reported as temporarily unavailable, never as an empty answer. Answers are kept under about 25 KB. Organisations only; officials appear only by office and no person is named.
