Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Go to families.decal.ga.gov/Provider/Data (the Provider Data Export page)
Optionally filter by program type (Child Care Learning Center, Family Child Care Learning Home, GA Head Start, GA Early Head Start, etc.) and/or county before exporting
Trigger the export via the 'Download File' control, which posts back an Excel/CSV extract rather than calling a REST endpoint
Cross-reference exported fields against the published Data Export Data Dictionary PDF (decal.ga.gov/Documents/Attachments/DataExportDataDictionary.pdf) to correctly interpret columns
Re-run the export periodically for refreshed data, since there is no webhook or change-feed for provider updates
Known gotchas
The export is triggered by an ASP.NET __doPostBack call, not a stable query-string URL, so headless automation needs a browser/session rather than a simple HTTP GET
The dataset only includes providers 'approved and licensed to serve children' — closed or never-licensed operators won't appear
