SirsiDynix® Web Services
SirsiDynix® Web Services, a subset of the SirsiDynix Symphony® API, gives you access to system data for customization and extensibility specific to your library aspirations, needs and patron requests. Web Services provides an alternative mechanism for accessing the catalog and system data using different technologies – including SOAP, HTTP and XML – arming system administrators with tools to quickly respond to needs of library staff and users.
The core components of SirsiDynix Web Services are:
Standard Services
Standard Services provide access to the catalog and allow searches and item information for interfaces and context outside the library site.
Security Services
Use Security Services to verify accounts, logins and user info prior to the authentication point - such as confirming user account status to a third party.
Patron Services
Enable access to user account information and actions, including the ability to renew materials, place holds and update account details.
Admin Services
Retrieve system information, including policies and other setting that may impact operations, with the Admin Services component.
Web Services can enable the creation of custom facets, for narrowing information within the library catalog to better meet patron interests; or can be expanded far beyond the library for performing and replicating specific calls, with third-party vendors or websites, such as eBook providers or social networking sites. Common uses also include integration of catalog data into another application, development of custom reports or applications, or verification of patron status in a context outside the traditional system.
