Owned by Min Zeng

Overview


This web service retrieves a list of department summary records (PwsDepartmentSummary), based on specified search criteria. You can specify which department or departments to retrieve either by specifying a set of search criteria, or by specifying a specific department (PwsDepartmentRef). 


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.
