RadioReference Web service v3.1 SOAP Interface in BETA!

[blantonl]

RadioReference.com is pleased to announce the 3.1 BETA release of the RadioReference.com Web service to the development community. Version 3.1 is based on the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), which is a standard for exchanging XML-based messages over computer networks.

The 3.1 release is an important one for developers of application that use RadioReference data, since it provides developers with a much easier to use abstract interface to the data, and it also provides a number of new features and data access methods for RadioReference.com data.

Some new features and methods include:

* Access to FCC License Data and FCC License proximity searches
* "Tag" data available for frequencies and talkgroups
* Location based information now available for all supported entities
* Searches across states, counties, and metro areas for radio data
* User profile and subscription information
* United States Zip code information
* Better error handling

Access to the Web service is available to all developers, through the use of an assigned application key to each application that uses the Web service. Developers can register their applications on their account API at the following link:

Lindsay one thing I would like to see in a future release is access to the user's MyRR entries...

For example, the user can be displayed a list of his favorites and upon selection can view frequencies, properties, etc.

That is a very very good idea Bez.. let me look in to it.
