A new release (3.3) of the web services has just been released.
Please see the Gateway library for information on web services and the Gateway web service client tools for details and downloads.
One important point to mention is that we now have a release strategy where we will support deprecated web service versions for 12 months.
Here are the features we’ve managed to fit into this release:
- a multiple taxon version key filter to restrict the response from the one site (species lists and species data) and the species list requests
- flexible species designation filtering and a new species designation discovery web service
- no more Exceptions when no records are found, now its part of the response
- the DatasetSummaryQuery now has a date stamp so you can find out when a dataset was last updated
- a Map Only option is available in one site data queries if you don’t need the data – but the list of data providers is still returned.
Remember that you can keep up to date with developments on web services by registering for updates on the forums, where you will find specific web services’ news and announcements in the NBN Gateway section.
