This is not exactly an answer about the XAS data available with Hephaestus,
but you might find some additional useful XAS spectra  at the following
online XAS databases:

     https://xaslib.xrayabsorption.org/elem/
     http://ixs.iit.edu/database/
     https://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/mes/spectra/index.html
     https://www.esrf.fr/home/UsersAndScience/Experiments/XNP/ID21/php.html
     https://pfxafs.kek.jp/xafsdata/list.php

https://www.cat.hokudai.ac.jp/catdb/index.php?action=xafs_dbinpbrowse&selection=2&r=13

https://mdr.nims.go.jp/catalog?f%5Bmember_of_collections_ssim%5D%5B%5D=MDR+XAFS+DB&locale=en

There may be others!

As it happens, I just learned about the last one in that list on Friday --
It is meant to join/replace the 2 other databases from Japan listed just
above it, and add other data (including from SPring8,  if I understand
correctly).   It appears to me to be the most comprehensive.

The data at IIT are in various formats some of which are very hard to deal
with, and the sample sources and data are not very well described.

The xaslib.xrayabsorption.org site is a not-quite-complete attempt at
making a database that could be "neutral" in the sense of not tied to any
one facility, hosted by the IXAS, and possible (at least in principle) for
others to contribute and rate data.  I have not worked on it much in the
past year or so and it has sort of languished. It probably deserves more
attention.  Suggestions for how to improve this would be most welcome.

In the discussion where I learned about the NIMS database effort, we
thought that forming an ad hoc Working Group of the IXAS to discuss some of
the issues for combining such databases, and hopefully make some progress
in gathering data from various sources and having a more definitive set of
data.  I will be reaching out to several people about this, but if anyone
hear is interested in participating in this effort, please contact me.
