Gets - Retrieve your information

The following will retrieve information relating to the parameters that are passed to the API.
To use the API for getting contractor information call the following link:

With the required POST variables and any additional variables you require.
For any API call the following variables must be posted:
Variable Info

In this case use get for anything mentioned below.
type The type parameter is a further definition of what the API should be aiming to achieve with the posted data.
These will be outlined in more detail below, as each type has it's own list of variables that can be additionally sent to further refine the search.
format The format parameter tells the API how you want the data returned. The default return value is json if this parameter is not set.

To return everything for a particular GET simply pass it no additional parameters (accessKey, method and type are the only required parameters).
