News

VSO 1.2

2005 May 20: Try a search with the current release version of the VSO. Different user interfaces allow searches of all participating data services by:

time

and:

physical observable, instrument and data provider, spectral range, and "nicknames" for common types of data.

Please try it and let us know what you think.

Note: In keeping with the virtual nature of the VSO, clicking on any of the VSO search links above can take you to any working, public instance of the VSO. All should work the same, however, and all have the same access to the metadata from all the current data services.

API

Applications programming interfaces for the VSO 1.2 are available in Perl, Java, and C/C++ at our API documentation page. Check there for our WSDL description as well.
