Webservices: is there any doc on this?

[patrick de laet]

OK - I just installed 1.4 Alpha 4 and activated the Webservice on the Tools.

How do I use this?
(I know what webservices are - I consumed a lot of SOAP, RPC-XML, REST, ... services)
Do you have an example? What URL do I have to call?

OK - I found it myself...

eg: activate products for GET ...

Then http://localhost/prestashop14/api/products

response is .... (Use Firebug to view the response)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">

Then do ...

http://localhost/prestashop14/api/products/1

Response is ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

We really need some doc on the Webservices API Request and Response.

http://localhost/prestashop14/api/customers/1

returns ... which is OK

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

But calling ...

http://localhost/prestashop14/api/customers/123456

returns ... nothing!

Why doesn't the API returns an errorcode and an error as response?
eg '123-Unknown customer'

Another question that comes to mind ...

How do I fetch all new orders from eg the last 2 hours?

We sure need some doc on the Webservices.

I also would like to know how the webservices work. I am working on a manual for the community.

The API uses HTTP error codes. Just tested it and got an error 404 (not found) which is quite correct. Check out the response headers you get from the server

I make some testing too. I'm thinking that POST request is not working at all. GET, HEAD, PUT and DELETE works well but if I'm trying a POST request, e.g

http://localhost/api/manufacturers

and I'm sending text/xml; charset=utf-8

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hello,

Did you find a way to use the POST method to create a new entry ?

I spent many times on it put i didn't manage to make it work.

Thanks
