Derived by API Evangelist from the live CASA files https://services.casa.gov.au/airworth/airwd/data/adweb.csv (2,445,841 bytes) and https://services.casa.gov.au/airworth/airwd/data/folder.csv (50,457 bytes), header rows retrieved 2026-07-28. Both files are quoted, comma-delimited with a header row. adweb.csv is the CSV projection of the AD list and carries 11 of the 16 fields present in combinedadweb.json; folder.csv is the series/group lookup carrying the 5 fields adweb.csv omits, joinable on FOLDERNAME. Not published or endorsed by CASA.
