How to create a SOAP API in magento2

[okorshenko]

Hi @VLCSolutions , please look at API Documentaion. If you have additional questions, please, let us know

[VLCSolutions]

If possible could you please elaborate with a example please

[okorshenko]

@VLCSolutions, to create new SOAP API you need to declare interface (for example: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/develop/app/code/Magento/Customer/Api/GroupRepositoryInterface.php) and configure it in webapi.xml (for example: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/develop/app/code/Magento/Customer/etc/webapi.xml#L12). This logic will be available in REST and SOAP API. For more details please refer Sample WebAPI

[VLCSolutions]

@okorshenko thanks for reply, where we define the elements or attributes for the request and response elements like how we defined in wsdl.xml file in magento1. Please bare me...

[okorshenko]

@VLCSolutions , currently you don't need to configure attributes separately. Your interface returns object (let's say, customer group https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/develop/app/code/Magento/Customer/Api/GroupRepositoryInterface.php#L32). \Magento\Customer\Api\Data\GroupInterface has declared getters that will be transformed to response attributes. (https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/develop/app/code/Magento/Customer/Api/Data/GroupInterface.php#L20-L23)

[VLCSolutions]

@okorshenko , What is difference between https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/develop/app/code/Magento/Customer/etc/webapi.xml#L113-L118 and https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/develop/app/code/Magento/Customer/etc/webapi.xml#L140-L148

[choukalos]

the /me means that you only get your information ( authorized with a customer token ) - you can't use that web api to get any other customer from the system like you can with the first web api ( which requires an admin token ).

@okorshenko , @choukalos : how to create multiple customers at a time, for example \Magento\Customer\Api\Data\CustomerRepository save method accepts only one customer details at a time to save, but i want to create multiple customers on one API request.

And what is the importance of KEY keyword in api, example https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/develop/app/code/Magento/Customer/Api/Data/CustomerInterface.php#L35 compared to other attributes which do not have KEY keyword

[choukalos]

We only support single entity APIs; there's no plan to support bulk API calls in our framework.

For higher volume integrations we'll be enhancing scheduled FTP's to be more like a feeds system where you can configure scheduled FTP/SFTP transfer via XML as part of your extension. Likely this will be in the later half of 2016. Thinking behind that is it'll allow transfer for very large catalogs, inventory updates, etc in a more performant manner than supporting bulk API calls. This feature will be in enterprise.

@choukalos , thanks for reply. Please help me on getting WSDL structure for SOAP API. Like CustomerRequest able to request from SoapUI.

[VLCSolutions]

@okorshenko , @choukalos Please help me on getting WSDL XML structure for any API request in magento2. In magento1 i could able to get the WSDL XML structure in SOAPUI or storm by giving SOAP URL, But in magento2 i'm not able to get WSDL XML structure, please help me on this.

[alankent]

Are you saying fetching WSDL does not work, or you do not know how to do it? Have you had a look at http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/soap/bk-soap.html ? That lists lots of end points for fetching WSDL. If it is not working, could you provide more details on what error messages etc you are getting? Thanks!

[VLCSolutions]

@alankent I want to get XML request for customerrepository API, For this i have used http://192.168.0.183/NewMagento2/soap?wsdl&services=customerCustomerRepositoryV1 in SOAPUI tool and i'm getting error

http://192.168.0.183/NewMagento2/soap?wsdl&services=customerCustomerRepositoryV1 loading http://192.168.0.183/NewMagento2/soap?wsdl&services=customerCustomerRepositoryV1 Acquiring the wsdl...

@VLCSolutions, I'm trying to reproduce your error. Could you provide more details about the environment, where you ran your XML request: the version of SOAPUI, what kind of tool do you use to generate code, the version of the tool, language of generated code, protocol? Was you able to get results using the approach described in http://www.soapui.org/soap-and-wsdl/getting-started.html with http://192.168.0.183/NewMagento2/soap?wsdl&services=customerCustomerRepositoryV1 ?

[VLCSolutions]

@arkadiych Now i'm able to get request and response XML structure from SOAPUI tool, but when i try to use the same http://192.168.0.183/NewMagento2/soap?wsdl&services=customerCustomerRepositoryV1 in storm tool still its giving error. Note: In Storm magento1 XML Request generated successfully.

[arkadiych]

@VLCSolutions, looks like Storm supports SOAP1.1, but not SOAP1.2 for code generation. Magento2 SOAP Web Service supports SOAP1.2
