Temp Conversion SOAP API

This tutorial shows how to configure a SOAP service with an example of a public temperature conversion WSDL. This example shows how to connect to a SOAP Service and demonstrates how DreamFactory can automatically wrap any SOAP WSDL with REST.

Create the SOAP Service

• In the admin console, go to the Services tab and click Create.
• Set the Service Type to 'SOAP Service'.
• Set the service name to 'temp'. This will be part of the URL when you call the service.
• Set the label to ‘Temperature’.
• Click the Config tab and enter the WSDL URI for the SOAP service. Set it to 'http://www.w3schools.com/xml/tempconvert.asmx?WSDL'.
• Click Create Service to save your new service.

Call the SOAP Service

Click on the API Docs tab in the admin console, and select the 'temp' service from the list. It'll expand to show the available operations.

This UI was auto-generated based on the information obtained from the WSDL you specified when creating the service.

Click the blue GET button next to /temp then scroll down and click the Try it out! button. You'll see the request URL and response.

GET http://localhost:8888/api/v2/temp
