WEBSERVICES

The EcoSystemDataData Web Services provide the ability to search and retrieve data from EcoSystemData warehouse by providing access to the data.

Each part of the web services is provided by a web service API, which defines the name, input to, and output from the service for a particular data request.

This page lists all the EcoSystemData Web Service APIs with a description that includes the information provided by the API, the input needed to get data from the API, and the data that is returned by the API.

ICES also provides a Web Service Description Language (WSDL) document that fully describes the EcoSystemData Web Service.
This document can be used to create clients that access the service.
