These are the files that help run the ARCOS API.
The Washington Post published a significant portion of a database that tracks the path of every opioid pain pill, from manufacturer to pharmacy, in the United States between 2006 and 2012. We have reported a number of stories using this data set, but we believe there are more stories to be told.
We are making this data accessible as an API for everyone to download and use in their reporting or research to promote a deeper understanding of the regional and local effects of the opioid crisis.
If you see an error in our summary or supplemental files, please submit a pull request.
