Overview
Web services can be accessed in a number of different ways:
- Small requests can be handled through your browser.
- Dedicated clients are available for making more complex or larger queries.
- Automated or scripted requests can be made using programs such as wget or curl.
- A Java API is available for Java and MATLAB users.

Real time data
All open data arriving in (near) real time at the NSF SAGE Facility are available from the DMC’s SeedLink server.
The web services should not be used to retrieve continuous, real time data via repeated polling. Instead, the SeedLink server should be used when continuous data streams are needed.
