Applicant Method
Now take an applicant id from the previous page - in this example I'll use aid=18213. I can discover everything I need to know about him or her by using the applicant method.
Using SOAP, I would retrieve the data using the following
$client->call("getApplicant", array("username" => "my_password",
"password" => "my_username",
"database" => "my_database",
"id" => 18213,
"method" => XML,
));Using ReST I would use the url
https://backend.econjobmarket.org/rest/my_database/XML/Applicant/18213Here is the applicant object in XML Format as it is returned by these two requests:
<xml>
<applicant>
<error>0</error>
<id>18213</id>
<aid>18213</aid>
