Virtual Solar Observatory

Application Programming Interface

As RPC/Encoded has been deprecated by the Axis and some other SOAP toolkits, we now have an RPC/Literal endpoint.

(and yes, I know, I need to merge all of this in with the other documentation at http://docs.virtualsolar.org/)

API Documentation (HTML); (POD): A detailed explaination of the information exchanged between user interfaces and the Virtual Solar Observatory
API Description (WSDL): A description of an example service in Web Services Description Language to generate code stubs -- please note, the example WSDL only lists one port, but there are multiple instances running.
VSO Nicknames (XML): A listing of the nickname translations in use by the VSO web interface.
Keywords List (TEXT)
Keywords List (XML): A list of keywords used in communications with VSO
Coming soon: A complete re-design of the VSO as an MVC framework with a collection of APIs and full ReadTheDocs documenation.
