a list of all possible values for the service and resource type parts in an AWS ARN

The AWS Service Authorization Reference is what you're looking for, specifically: Actions, resources, and condition keys for AWS services.

The Service Authorization Reference provides a list of the actions, resources, and condition keys that are supported by each AWS service. You can specify actions, resources, and condition keys in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to manage access to AWS resources.


If there is some API I can run and get the list in json or other data format, it would be even better.

Unfortunately, no API exists for this info as it's not a service but more of a documentation reference.

There is no central reference of "all possible values" of an ARN.

Each AWS Service has resources that use ARNs. Since the address space is divided into 'services', each service can create its own resource references (eg Amazon EC2 would have instance and volume).
