Steps
Call the All Media Programs Facility Search get_facilities REST service with search criteria (e.g. state, facility name) to validate the query and obtain a query ID (QID) plus summary counts
Call get_qid with that QID to paginate through the matching facility list (registry IDs, permit IDs, names)
Optionally call get_download with the QID to export the full result set as CSV
For a single known facility, call the Detailed Facility Report get_dfr endpoint with the facility's ID to retrieve compliance status, inspections, and formal/informal enforcement actions in one response — no QID needed
Select output format (XML, JSON, or JSONP) via the output query parameter
Known gotchas
QIDs from get_facilities expire after a limited time window — pagination/export must finish before they expire
get_facilities/get_qid/get_download form one linked workflow; get_dfr is self-contained and skips the QID step
These are read-only compliance/enforcement services, distinct from EPA Envirofacts (TRI/RCRA/SDWIS/GHG table data) — use ECHO's bulk Data Downloads/ECHO Exporter instead of this API for full table dumps
