Frequently Asked Questions

What is an entity?

An entity is a custom configured scalable table in a database (ie, the Person entity). Each record in the table is often referred to as the object or concept it represents (ie, a person). Each object or concept has multiple attributes configured to it, for example, a Person has name, a gender, an address, an email address etc. An entity can be configured to represent any information you may require.

Can these Web Services be used without the Account Web Service?

While these services are separate, the associated Partner Web Services can not be used without the Partner Account Web Services (PAWS). This is because each method within PAWS passes a security token which is set within the Account Web Services. If implemented correctly, this ensures the integrity of the data from outside threats.

Can anyone use these services?

It is highly recommended that only a trained developer with experience in VB.NET or C# implement the Data Integration Web Service framework.
