Learning Objective:

After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:

• Overview of SKYVVA soap and rest API
• Comfortably connect soap UI with salesforce organization.

Introduction

SoapUI is an open-source web service testing application for service-oriented architectures and representational state transfers. We can connect soap UI with salesforce organization to push data.

Required details:

• SoapUI application.
• Username and password of your salesforce organization.
• Security Token.

We can push data using:

• Soap API
• Rest API

What is a SOAP API?

SOAP is a standard communication protocol system that permits processes using different operating systems like Linux and Windows to communicate via HTTP and its XML.
SOAP-based APIs are designed to create, recover, update and delete records like accounts, passwords, leads, and custom objects. These offer over twenty different kinds of calls that make it easy for the API developers to maintain their accounts, perform accurate searches and much more.
These can then be used with all those languages that support web services.
SOAP APIs take the advantages of making web-based protocols such as HTTP and its XML that are already operating all operating systems that are why its developers can easily manipulate web services and get responses without caring about language and platforms at all.

Explaining a Simple SOAP Example

SOAP, by its very nature, requires a little more setup, but I think you’ll be amazed at how simple it is to use. Begin this example by creating a Windows Forms application using Apex. The sample code uses java, but the same technique works fine with other Apex language (you’ll need to modify the code to fit). Add labels, text boxes, and buttons as shown here (the Latitude and Longitude fields are read-only).

How to Integrate SoapUI to SKYVVA

Follow the given steps to connect SoapUI with SKYVVA

Step1: Generate API file

• Expand SkyvvaIServices
• Go to integrate
• Rename it to Authorization

Step 4: Create Interface in your org

• Go back to your org
• Create Integration & copy IntegrationID
• Create Interface & copy Interface Name

Go to the related page and create IStructure

• Name
• BillingCity
• BillingCountry

• Click on Open Mapping button

Step5: Go to SoapUI to connect SKYVVA with soap UI

• Paste this code

2   What is REST API ?

REST is an architectural style of the web services that work as a channel of communication between different computers or systems on the internet. The term REST API is something else. Those application programming interfaces that are backed by the architectural style of the REST architectural system are called REST APIs.

REST API compliant web services, database systems, and computer systems permit requesting systems to get robust access and redefine representations of web-based resources by deploying a predefined set of stateless protocols and standard operations. By these protocols and operations and redeploying the manageable and updatable components without causing the effect on the system, REST API systems deliver fast performance, reliability, and more progression.

Explaining a Simple REST Example IntegrateBatch

The examples in this section use REST API resources to create, retrieve, update, and delete records, along with other record-related operations.

• Open SoapUI
• Click on REST

Login to your Salesforce org

• Go to setup
• Copy your URL

• Paste URL here to create new REST project
• Click ok

• Rest project created.

• Expand URL
• Right-click on Request
• Click on Clone Request

• Specify the name of cloned Request
• Eg. Authorization
• Click ok

Now here something is very important

Method POST
Endpoint  URL: https://skyvva-test-dev-ed.lightning.force.com/
RESOURCE : /services/apexrest/skyvvasolutions/integrateBatch

• Media type by default application/json where we post. (json is the format)
• Header its some tricky although it is easy
• Click on Header

• Add header name eg. Authorization
• A bearer is a keyword after press space key
• Paste your sessionID
• Press enter key

Now go back to your salesforce org

• Create Integration & copy IntegrationID
• Create Interface & copy Interface Name

Click on Related List & create IStructure

• Name
