Overview

This web service retrieves a list of skill group summary records (PwsSkillGroupSummaryElement), based on specified search criteria. The following parameters affect the list of skill groups retrieved:

QueryString: Searches within skill group name. Any skill group containing this string in the skill group name is included.
IncludeInactiveFlag: If false, inactive skill groups (skill groups that contain no active skills) are excluded from the results.
SkillGroupIdentity: If specified, only the specified skill group is included. Note QueryString and IncludeInactiveFlag are ignored if SkillGroupIdentity is specified.

Rate Limiting

In order to protect our servers from inadvertent service overuse or intentional attack, and to fairly distribute services to all our customers, we have implemented a rate limiting algorithm. When fully deployed, this new algorithm will cause services to either succeed with new warnings or fail with new errors when services are consumed at too high a rate. Programs that consume Projector services should be enhanced to handle rate limiting errors so that they can continue functioning properly. For more information please visit: Projector Rate Limiting Behavior.
