Introduction
What is a Web Service?
The Web Service offered by OnTheSnow.com/SkiInfo.com allows media organizations to add real time snow reports and resort information for ski resorts throughout the world. The OnTheSnow.com/SkiInfo.com web service uses HTTP requests to specific URLs, using URL parameters as arguments. The service returns the data as JSON for parsing and/or processing by your application.
Here is an example resort snowreport webservice request:
http://clientservice.onthesnow.com/externalservice/resort/[resort_id]/snowreport?token=[token]
where [resort_id] indicates the particular resort requested and [token] is the authorization token unique to your account.
Your authentication token is a required parameter. All service requests must include a valid token. Token information can be found here - Authentication/Credit Line Resource .
By default, the data is returned in imperial(inches, feet etc...). Language and Country parameters can be passed to change the language and metric type. Ex: &country=CH&language=de . More info can be found here - Language and Metrics
