USA.gov data is no longer available about awesome-json-datasets HOT 3 CLOSED

The short version is this:
They decommissioned the url shortening agreement with bit.ly, but it appears that either:

1. They have chosen to cease delivering any of the non-authenticated content in JSON format
2. They have broken the webserver handling of the url requests.

Based on what I see, it's the former, not the latter. Too, the investigation lead me to data.gov, and there is a mountain of data there... but one must secure a developer API key to get at the content programmatically.

I've read through each of the pages referenced here: https://www.usa.gov/developer#item-211492 and following the instructions they've included for the non-shortened URLs all lead to 404s

I'm not sure how to spin this, but I did some research and crawling but would love to get hacktoberfest credit if at all possible! Perhaps I could update the readme.md for the usa.gov content?

Good find, thank you for looking into it. However the data should be available without authentication to be put on the list, you could submit a pull request to remove the URLs that don't work anymore.
