Web services

Indicia’s web services are a key component of the Indicia warehouse, since all interactions between the client website and the warehouse are via web services. This approach means there is no practical difference between hosting your client website on the same machine as the warehouse or hosting it on the other side of the globe. The web services are effectively a set of functions that can be called remotely, for example functions which return data, allow addition of records to the warehouse, or perform utility calculations such as spatial reference transformations where these can’t be handled on the client.

Tip

Indicia now has a growing RESTful web service for reading reports and certain other types of data. See Indicia’s RESTful web services
