## Overview

The Portal SOAP API is a legacy web service that provides access to LANDATA property and land registry services. This API uses SOAP/XML messaging over HTTP with WS-Security for authentication.

While SERV is transitioning to modern REST APIs (see Discovery API and Orders API), the Portal SOAP API remains available for existing integrations and provides access to functionality not yet available in the REST APIs.

## Key Features

The Portal SOAP API provides access to:

- **Notifications** - List and view property alerts and notices for subscriptions
- **Certificates** - Order and manage property certificates from various authorities
- **Property Packages** - Order bundled property information packages
- **Subscription Management** - Manage alert subscriptions and notifications

| Operation | Description |
