Consistent physics and engineering models are required for many use cases at Wendelstein 7-X. Web service technology is used to provide convenient access to common software components and experiment data. The usage of standard web protocols allows the integration in client software written in any programming language. This leads to a better reusability of expert codes and experiment data by a large international team. At W7-X, web services provide common functions such as Biot–Savart calculations and magnetic field line tracing. Further services provide access to databases for diagnostic data or machine models. A new web service was implemented for the creation of 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium calculations and a user-friendly access to the results. Consistent interface definitions allow an orchestration of the W7-X web services by user code, as well as a seamless integration into a data analysis framework. In this paper, we present the current state of the MHD equilibrium web services at Wendelstein 7-X.
