How to get residentadvisor API work?

Question

I´m trying to connect to the API of residentadvisor (http://www.residentadvisor.net/api/dj.asmx?op=getartist).

My goal is, to get all informations of DJs (tracks and labels) and labels (DJs and tracks) and the TOP100, TOP1000 and so on. Unfortunatelly, there is no good manual for this API. I wrote to residentadvisor and got no answer. There are some examples given, but I don´t know what are the example values:

<UserID>string</UserID>: Is this my login name?
<AccessKey>string</AccessKey> Is this my personal user password?
<DJID>string</DJID> Where can I find the DJID of a DJ?
<ArtistName>string</ArtistName> Ok, this is just the artist name, right?
<ChartID>string</ChartID>: Where can I find the ChartID?
<Option>string</Option>: What are the options?
<URL>string</URL> Which URL ist this?

Any hints? Thanks in advance
