Accessing VSPO
Description
The VSPO Client API allows a software developer to interact with the data housed in VSPO in a client application. If you would just like to access metadata and data products please visit the Product Finder.

VSPO provides metadata records for space physics data products and increasingly provides direct access to the data products themselves. Its dictionary provides a mechanism to query the metadata repository based on predefined characteristics, plain text searches and date ranges.

VSPO Client API
The VSPO Client API is a Java class library and documentation that provides basic utilities for creating a VSPO client application. This client will simplify integration with the VSPO server and is recommended for use in Java-based clients. Please contact Reine Chimiak to obtain a copy of the API.

VSPO Client API Developer Documentation
JavaDoc for the VSPO Client API can be found at http://vspo.gsfc.nasa.gov/websearch/doc/. This provides explanations of the API's components and how to use them.

WSDL
VSPO clients use web services to communicate with the VSPO server. While it is recommended that developers use the VSPO Client API to integrate with VSPO, you may access our WSDL at: http://vspo.gsfc.nasa.gov/gateway/gateway?WSDL

Note: Depending upon your browser's capabilities, it may have trouble viewing the WSDL file. Recently released browsers should not encounter such problems. However, if you cannot view the file you can save it to your computer and view it in a text editor.

Questions
Please direct any technical questions or comments regarding the API to Reine Chimiak.
