Many of the services say they support a REST API but I couldn't find the sample instructions. REST is very popular in the MAshup space and sometimes easier to use REST as an alternative to SOAP

You can download the REST How-To doc from the Resources/Technical Docs section of this site. Look for the "How To Call a StrikeIron Web Service Using REST" document.

I'm still having problems trying to impliment the SMS REST API. Look at SMS example in REST docs. Notice that [serviceName]/[operationname] have multiple paths. How did they arrive at /StrikeIron/globalsmspro2_5/SMSTextMessaging/SendMessage?
Do the rest URLs have 1:1 mapping to service/op names?

We'll take a look at the REST API guide and see if it can be more clear. In the meantime, here's the proper REST API call for the TaxDataBasic service:
http://ws.strikeiron.com/StrikeIron/taxdatabasic/TaxDataBasic/GetTaxRateUS?
LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.UserID=my.userid@domain.com&
LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.Password=mypassword&
GetTaxRateUS.zip_code=27713
Just change the userid/password and you should be good to go.

How is a proper REST request to the Zacks Company service constructed? The docs don't provide an answer and my guess is a '404' code:
http://ws.strikeiron.com/ZacksCompany3/GetCompanyProfile?&LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.UserID=username&LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.Password=pass&GetCompanyProfile.Ticker=MSFT
Thx |

Here is the REST format for the GetCompanyProfile operation in the Zacks Company service:
http://ws.strikeiron.com/StrikeIron/ZacksCompany3/ZacksCompany/GetCompanyProfile?LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.UserID=myuserid&LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.Password=mypassword&GetCompanyProfile.Ticker=MSFT

| Thanks Alex. I think you should add a sample REST query to the docs for each service as it's not always clear how to properly construct one. |

I noticed that the wsdl:service tag found at the bottom of the wsdl file is helpful to checkout when trying to construct the REST request.
The <soap:address location="baseURL"/> tag found here has the base url for constructing the REST request. I'm not sure this applies to all services but I thought this info might come in handy to other developers who might encounter this.

Hi , i've already referred the sample code in how to call web service using REST..
Is there any sample on using REST API for Currency Rates? I encounter problem when trying to use the getConversion.
But when i tried to call getCurrenciesList, it can display all the list.
Below is an example on how i call the getCurrenciesList:
http://ws.strikeiron.com/HouseofDev/CurrencyRates160/CurrencyRates/getCurrenciesList?LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.UserID=myemail@domain.com&LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.Password=mypassword
−
<WebServiceResponse>
−
<SubscriptionInfo>
<LicenseStatusCode>0</LicenseStatusCode>
<LicenseStatus>Valid license key</LicenseStatus>
<LicenseActionCode>7</LicenseActionCode>
<LicenseAction>No hit deduction for invocation</LicenseAction>
<RemainingHits>25</RemainingHits>
<Amount>0</Amount>
</SubscriptionInfo>
−
<getCurrenciesListResponse>
−
<getCurrenciesListResult>
<anyType xsi:type="xsd:string">AED</anyType>
<anyType xsi:type="xsd:string">AFN</anyType>
<anyType xsi:type="xsd:string">ALL</anyType>
<anyType xsi:type="xsd:string">AMD</anyType>
<anyType xsi:type="xsd:string">ANG</anyType>
<anyType xsi:type="xsd:string">AOA</anyType>
<anyType xsi:type="xsd:string">ARS</anyType>
<anyType xsi:type="xsd:string">AUD</anyType>
.
.
.
.
But when i called the getConversion using this:
http://ws.strikeiron.com/HouseofDev/CurrencyRates160/CurrencyRates/getConversion?LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.UserID=myemail@domain.com&LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.Password=mypassword&FromCurrencyCode=MYR&ToCurrencyCode=GBP&Amount=10.00
it return this result
<WebServiceResponse>
−
<Error>
Server was unable to read request. ---> There is an error in XML document (8, 20). ---> Input string was not in a correct format.
</Error>
</WebServiceResponse>
am i doing something wrong or did i missing something? |

Give the following a try:
http://ws.strikeiron.com/HouseofDev/CurrencyRates160/CurrencyRates/getConversion?LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.UserID=myuserid@mydomain.com&LicenseInfo.RegisteredUser.Password=mypassword&getConversion.FromCurrencyCode=MYR&getConversion.ToCurrencyCode=GBP&getConversion.Amount=10.00 |

OK thanks Alex, that does solve my problem..
Guess i forgot to put the getConversion in front of FromCurrencyCode, ToCurrencyCode & Amount..
i just got the wrong concept..
Anyway thanks again :) |
