The Service Authorization Reference documentation was removed from this repo on 2020-11-16 in commit 0eb32aa.

A comment on that commit pointed to its new published location and said nothing about where to find the source.

It would be helpful to have to source to make it easier to parse these documents programmatically.

This documentation is the best source we have for an authoritative list of service prefixes and permissible actions.

AWS IAM does not currently publish the source of information, but we'll pass your feedback on to the service team as a feature request.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.

Thanks @ljquin for passing this on to the service team.

For anyone else who needs a programmable list of service prefixes, the AWS Policy Generator's policies.js file is the most convenient source I have found.

See Stack Overflow for the example use case.
