Thread: Web service to check availability for stone

I have a question regarding the web services. 
Since we only update the rapnet list once a day in our web shop, I would like to automatically check if the stone is still available from the rapnet seller when one of our customers wants to purchase it in our web shop. 
I would prefer to do this availability check via a call to the web services. From what I gather by reading on technet, the most appropriate would be to call GetDiamond (http://technet.rapaport.com/WebServices/Feeds/RapNetInventoryLink.asmx?op=GetDiamond) to get info about a stone. What puzzels me is that the "availability" field is not present in the result that I get. Everything else seems to be present. 
Below is an example of the results that I get back from the web service. Is there not supposed to be a field containing the availability information? Is there another service to check availability for a specific stone?
