You can start pulling our web service data into your application in minutes.
Simply follow the steps below:
-
Choose whether you will access our web services using SOAP or HTTP. For help on
answering this question, check out this tip
in our Development FAQ.
-
If you chose SOAP, select a SOAP-enabled development toolkit. Many of our users
use Visual Studio.Net but there are dozens of toolkits out there.
-
Point your development toolkit to a web service WSDL URL so that you can discover
the service. You can find that URL by clicking on the WSDL menu on the web
service page. You can cut and paste it in your toolkit.
-
Start coding away. Our website provides sample code for the following toolkits:
Microsoft.Net (VB.Net, C#, ASP.Net), Microsoft ASP, VB6, PHP/NuSoap, Apache Axis,
Perl/SoapLite. If you use any of these environments, you can just cut & paste
our sample code into your application.
