Programming Footprint Services

For automating the management of the footprints, Footprint Services can be programmed over the Web. Many languages today support the rapid devel­opment of such clients, e.g. C#, Java, C++, Python and Perl. If you are new to programming Web services, we recommend you visit the links at the bottom of the page. For infor­mation on the footprint data model, please see our documentation. 

The Web services entry point is FootprintServices.asmx with a formal wsdl definiton.
