i have burned my eyes half way out gleaming at the examples and not sure what to do,

can you give some examples of retrieving data?

I can't offer coding advice but if you want to play around with the Autotask PSA Web Services API, I recommend downloading a Chrome Add on like Boomerang or a tool of your choosing like POSTMAN. With these tools you can try queries and other methods in an interactive fashion.

The v1.6 of the Autotask PSA Web Services API has SOAP XML examples that you can use as a starting point. Go into your Autotask PSA system and go into on-line help and search for 'web services API query' and you can quickly find a query example. On-line documentation is very extensive on the Web Services API for Autotask PSA.

I hope that helps. -johna

Would you be willing to share a postman call (minus credentials) so that I know I'm on the right track?
