Sample XML Request:
<DtRequest Method="DataTools.Capture.BusinessName.Search.Nzbr.SearchBusinessName" BusinessName="" AuthenticationToken="" TestEnvironment="" EntityStatus="" EntityType="" IndustryCode="" ResultLimit="" RequestId="" RequestKey="" DepartmentCode="" />
Sample XML Response:
<DtResponse RequestId="" ResultCount="1" ErrorMessage=""> <Result OrganisationName="" PartyID="" PartyIDType="" EntityStatus="" EntityType="" EntityIdentifier="" EntityIdentifierType="" /> </DtResponse>
SOAP Envelope: The XML request is passed through a single parameter in the SOAP envelope <DtXmlRequest>. Where the development language requires the SOAP envelope contents to be defined manually, the additional step of encoding the Dt XML Request is required. The encoding required needs to transform "<" of the DtRequest to "&lt;" and ">" to "&gt;". See example below. 
Sample SOAP Envelope:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/"> <soapenv:Header/> <soapenv:Body> <tem:ProcessXmlRequest> <!--Optional:--> <tem:DtXmlRequest> &lt;DtRequest Method="DataTools.Capture.BusinessName.Search.Nzbr.SearchBusinessName" BusinessName="" AuthenticationToken="" TestEnvironment="" EntityStatus="" EntityType="" IndustryCode="" ResultLimit="" RequestId="" RequestKey="" DepartmentCode="" /&gt; </tem:DtXmlRequest> </tem:ProcessXmlRequest> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope>
Batching Requests: Use the <DtRequests> (plural) tag to send through multiple requests in a single transaction.
<DtRequests>
<DtRequest Method="DataTools.Capture.BusinessName.Search.Nzbr.SearchBusinessName" BusinessName="" AuthenticationToken="" TestEnvironment="" EntityStatus="" EntityType="" IndustryCode="" ResultLimit="" RequestId="" RequestKey="" DepartmentCode="" />
<DtRequest Method="DataTools.Capture.BusinessName.Search.Nzbr.SearchBusinessName" BusinessName="" AuthenticationToken="" TestEnvironment="" EntityStatus="" EntityType="" IndustryCode="" ResultLimit="" RequestId="" RequestKey="" DepartmentCode="" />
</DtRequests>
Sample Code:

* Add the additional input parameter "OutputFormat=json" or "OutputFormat=xml" to change the response format from default.
* Add the additional input parameter "callback" to convert JSON responses to JSONP responses for across domains support.
  CORS header included where callback is not defined.
