Web Service Metadata
TrackAbout creates Web Application Description Language (WADL) documents for all web services that make use of REST architecture. The WADL for a service is accessible via the web service's URL with the word 'meta' appended as a query string parameter. For example, to access the WADL for the simple 'Echo' web service, you would use the following URL: https://www.trackabout.com/ws/Echo.asmx?meta
You can also specify a particular version of a web service to retrieve metadata for by including the major, minor, and revision numbers of the desired version in the query string. For example, to get the WADL for version 2.0.0 of the 'Echo' service, the URL becomes: https://www.trackabout.com/ws/Echo.asmx?v2.0.0&meta
