The RadioReference.com Web Service

There are two versions of the RadioReference.com Web Service:

Version 1.10 (Updated November 11, 2005)

Download the Latest Version (PDF) of the Web Service specification which supports Conventional and Trunked System Information.

Notes about the latest version of the Web Service (Important):

1. Note the change in the XML doc format for a county query - there is a new top-level attribute, and two 2nd level attributes, one for trs data, one for conventional data. This is different.

2. The list of valid PL tones is where we are headed, however for the next few months expect to get non-standard PL's in the XML doc. I would just throw them away if you don't see a valid tone - however the logic is up to you. Anything new going into the database has to maintain the new standard for PLs, but we are still processing legacy entries in the db.

3. See Appendix C for the relationship diagram.

4. Note the new URL for the latest version of the XML interface. The existing legacy interface will be left in-tact and not changed for depreciated versions of software in the feed.

Version 0.94

Download the Legacy Version (PDF) of the Web Service specification which supports only Trunked System Information.
