Are there any big downsides to just making Calls with plain HTML (instead of one of the wrappers)?

I integrated our windows PC software with Cheddargetter a few years ago.
I wanted to be backward compatible with our existing server based subscription, which was just a cobbled together thing. (A list of valid IDs). Hey, it was an experiment.

Now I want to just make the calls directly to Cheddargetter.

I'm thinking I can just make simple HTML calls and get back an XML response, right?

All I'm looking to get back from the response is:

  1. Are they currently a valid subscriber
  2. What is their expiration date.

    Hi Clay,

    Yes, you can use the API directly via HTTP. The wrappers just make it more convenient. For the use-case you've described, you just want to pull the customer data, then using that data determine if the customer is active (or rather does not have a subscription->canceledDatetime) and the value of that customer's credit card expiration date (subscription->ccExpirationDate).
