Welcome!  I assume you have arrived at this page becase you have an interest in XML data feeds from ywam.org.

 

XML describes information or data in the same way that HTML describes page layout.

 

Using XML Extendable Stylesheet Language Transforms (XSLT) you can take the XML data feed from ywam.org and transform it into something useful for you like html, xhtml, xml, csv, etc.

 

The data feeds that are currently avaliable:

• Operating Locations (bases)
• Ministries
• Named Ministries
• Staff Opportunities
• UofN Registered Schools
• Countries
• Regions
• Fields

These data feeds can be filtered so that you can limit the data returned to what you specifically need. The Staff Opportunities data set for example can be filterd by:

• Field
• Region
• Country
• Operating Location

UofN Registered Schools can be filterd by:

• College
• Course Number
• Field
• Region
• Country
• Operating Location

So how do filter the data - easy ... when making the request simply add the correct paramaters to the URL request.

staffopps_by_name.xml?fid=2 - Would return only the staff opportunities for Europe
(field id 2 = Europe)

staffopps_by_name.xml?cid=52 - Would return only the staff opportunities for England
(country id 52 = England)

So how do I know what the the Field(fid), Region(rid), Country or Base(bid) IDs are so that I can use them for filtering?

Simply request the xml feed for Field, Region, Country or Location and you will see both the ID and the proper name then you can use the ID number when making the request.

Please note: Data feeds will ONLY be profied to registered YWAM operating locations
