Steps

  1. Identify the facility's ECHO registry ID or permit/PWSID via a prior facility search (CWA or SDW REST service)
  2. Call the primary get_dfr endpoint with the ID and output=JSON to retrieve the full cross-program report
  3. Optionally call narrower section-specific DFR endpoints if only part of the report (e.g., enforcement history) is needed
  4. Parse the returned compliance, enforcement, and inspection history fields for the facility
  5. Cross-check field meanings against the DFR Data Dictionary before using values in downstream logic
