Hi Konstantinos Since that Web service provides a WSDL file, then that it is the best thing to use to generate an R function for each of the methods the Web service exposes. See processWSDL and genSOAPClientInterface in the SSOAP package for some examples. (Certain WSDL constructs and types are not yet supported, but send me email if the processWSDL step fails.) An additional hurdle is how the key is inserted into the SOAP request. I have only dealt with this for a different Web service and I don't know if there is a "standard" (or if MS would use it even if it existed!) D.
