Information for IT Developers
In preparation for the implementation of the NAIT scheme, NAIT is providing information providers and accredited entities with a facility to bulk upload person, location, animal and movement data directly to the NAIT system via a common system interface. This system runs parallel with the web application which provides for the same types of transactions.
In order to use this material, developers should be familiar with SOAP, XML and XSD type files and protocols.
The capability is being developed in stages and interface specifications for each of the transaction types will be made available as they are completed. These specifications aim to provide all the requirements and schema for the development and implementation of systems to transact with the NAIT system.
Access to the common system interface is by application only.
Technical specifications
The Technical Specifications referenced below are for software developers developing a client application for the common system interface.
