Open this file to audit which documents the fee figures were read from. One row is a primary document Instica fetched, with its retrieval date and content hash.

The rows were read from 252 source documents between October 17, 2026 and November 5, 2026.

No row in this file is pending: every row carries a value and the source it was read from.

252 rows are published records: they copy a series or a register entry from its publisher and carry no Instica review status.

The value column holds the fetch status, the content hash of the stored text and, where known, the document size and publisher. Compare the hash with your own copy to see whether a document has changed since Instica read it.

From a shell: curl -O https://instica.com/epr/data/sources.csv. In a spreadsheet, import the CSV as UTF-8 with a comma separator. In a script, read the CSV with any CSV parser, or the JSON file for native types.

Filter on status before you compute. Rows with status pending have no value by design.
