but when I send my data to them, it failed. I wrote some code for that which is shown below. Basically that pms property management system site.By that you can manage your property with his api.
$url = "http://api.myallocator.com/";
$xmlRequestString='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<GetProperties>
<Auth>
<UserId>"xxxxxxx"</UserId>
<UserPassword>"xxxxx"</UserPassword>
<VendorId>"xxxxxxx"</VendorId>
<VendorPassword>"xxxxxxxx"</VendorPassword>
</Auth>
</GetProperties>';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xmlRequestString);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
