VSA API Web Service

The VSA API Web Service is an API documentation resource based on the Web Services Description Language (WSDL). The WSDL displays in a browser and provides an abstract description of the data being exchanged to and from a web service. A client program connecting to a web service can read the WSDL to determine what functions are available on the server. Any special datatypes used are embedded in the WSDL file in the form of XML Schema. The client can then use SOAP to actually call one of the functions listed in the WSDL.

The following is an example of vsaWS output:
