Gets a quote containing all the available data cleansing services that can be purchased for a particular job.
In order to purchase a cleansed data file from a job, a set of services must be specified. This method allows
the caller to retrieve a full list of all the available services in their default configurations that can be
purchased for a job, and as such is the normal starting point for any application attempting to download cleansed
data.
Once the list of services has been set up to meet the caller's needs, it can be passed to the
PurchaseResults method to request the cleansed data for the
selected services.
The services that are available will change depending on the configuration of the
Workflow and FileFormat
that were used to start the job. The list below describes all the available services, their options and any
additional columns of data that will be appended to the cleansed data file if the service is selected.
