Personify: Web Services

Personify comes with 2 types of Web services: Universal Web services & Simple Web services.

The Universal Web service essentially wraps the Personify API for Web Service access. You can do just about anything with the Universal Web service, but it may take some knowledge of the Personify application. The Universal Web service is the most flexible approach but also the most complex. In general, it will return whatever you are looking for (including extender fields) but will return a lot of things you probably aren't looking for.

The Simple Web service is designed to do one thing simply. These Web services have simple parameters and simple return values. They are straight forward and easy to use but can’t do everything. The list of available Simple Web services will grow over time based on market research.
