Web Services - XML Instructions
The xml format is provided for users who want to integrate the NIS data and calculations into their own web site or another application. These instructions describe two methods (.Net and ASP) that can be used to pass information from your web site or other application to the Web Service engine and how to parse the xml format that is returned.

The examples below use variable names from the PY page for a government bond. Variables for other Web Service pages and bond types can be found by viewing the Web Service samples of each page.

IMPORTANT : A disclaimer must be included on your web site that nisanalytics.com has been used as a data source or to perform the calculations (ex. Powered by nisanalytics.com).
