This is an online application which is used to run calculations used for RB209 Nutrient Management. Behind the application is a set of industry wide standardised calculations and formulae which can be called. These will then return corresponding calculated values and details. This can be used to plug into your Nutrient Management software, and you can be safe in knowledge that you are receiving the correct values based upon the data you have submitted.
In order to use the API, there are a number of connections which you can connect to. The details of each are listed in this section. This includes which parameters need to be passed with each request to allow it to run. And which parameters will be returned from the connection if run successfully. You will need to program your software to collate the required details together and then extract the returned data.
