Steps

  1. Query the Well Numbers CKAN resource (its own resource_id) via datastore_search to map a well/report number to its index record.
  2. Separately query the Well Completion Report PDF Links resource, which stores a URL column pointing to the redacted PDF for each report.
  3. Follow the returned URL - most link into DWR's Box-hosted folder tree (cadwr.app.box.com/v/WellCompletionReports), organized by county.
  4. If using the PDF Links (Local) resource instead, treat its paths as relative and prefix them with the CNRA-hosted base path documented on the dataset page.
  5. Because both resources update weekly, avoid caching well-number-to-PDF mappings for more than a few days without re-syncing.
