The Vector Risk service is hosted in Sydney, Singapore and Zurich. Each location has asmx (soap) and ashx (forms) endpoints for automation of workflows.
These services use HTTP basic authentication (HTTP web services over TLS 1.2). Vector Risk uses curl scripts to illustrate calling the web services. curl uses basic authentication by default.
There are a large number of web services exposed in the asmx (soap) service. The definitions of these services can be accessed via the wsdl: https://workflow.vectorrisk.com/DailyProcess.asmx?wsdl
However, the point of the articles in this section is to provide an in-depth explanation of a sub-set of services that will allow automation of two main processes: a daily process and an intra-day pre-deal check.
