Overview

This web service retrieves a list of vendor summary records (PwsVendorSummary), based on specified search criteria. The following parameters affect the list of vendors retrieved:

QueryString. Find all vendors matching specified string in vendor name or vendor number.
IncludeInactiveFlag. If true, inactive vendors will be returned. Otherwise, only vendors that are not considered inactive will be returned.
VendorIdentity. If specified, the identified vendor will be returned (QueryString and IncludeClosedFlag will be ignored).

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.

Every Projector resource has a linked vendor for this purpose. This flag is disregarded if a vendor is specified in VendorIdentity.	true

QueryString	String (255)	No		A search string to narrow down the results. A vendor will be included in the results if the search string matches the VendorName or VendorNumber. This value is disregarded if a vendor is specified in EngagementTypeIdentity.
