Developer Information

If you are a software developer that would like to add fast callsign lookups to your program, please see our XML Interface Specification.

QRZ has also produced a reference XML lookup application that developers can use for troubleshooting or adding to their own code. The application was written for Windows in two versions using the free Microsoft .NET IDE in both Visual Basic and Visual C#. Both programs (VB and C# versions) are identical in function. Source code is included for each version and may be freely reused or redistributed with any program. Both programs have been verified on Windows Vista 64 and Windows XP (32).
