Help about Sugar's web services

[fedepia]

Hello, I have to integrate SugarCRM with other application using Sugar's web services. The problem I have is I can't find any documentation about the ws (only the soap.php?wsdl), but I need rich documentation like a javadoc o something that explains the ws functionality, its parameters (and the meaning), results (what it means) and how to use them.
Currently I'm testing them by jdeveloper's debugger and this is really tedius.
If there is anybody who works with the sugar's web services and knows about this please post.
Thanks

Well, if you go to soap.php and remove the ?wsdl, it'll show you pretty much how every call works.

There are some examples in http://www.sugarcrm.com/wiki.

As an example:
login takes an auth_user array but what is auth_user? you need to look at the WSDL for that.

I know that, but i need another kind of documentation because in the list of web services the requests and responses are shown but nothing about what they do.
I created a jdeveloper's web service proxy project and imported the url, this generated all the methods (ws' wrappers) but i don't know how the web services must be used.
So, im looking for method documentation (i.e. for login ws -> "logs the user to sugar, it needs a username and pass encoded in md5).
Thanks again

Hi there,

Julian presented a webinar on SOAP APIs and this is posted on the wiki. He also has example code posted as well. Please follow this link and look at the bottom of the page (SOAP API with Julian Ostrow 5/24/07).

I too am having issues with the documentation. Links to a presentation are nice, but where is the -proper- documentation? I've found the main Web Services docs but it does not cover a heck of a lot of the API. Unless I'm missing something (I've posted to another thread asking specifically about certain methods.)

I'll ask here too. Is there any place where the FULL web services API is documented?

For the next release we are making major changes to the web services. Here is the link with all the details.

There is an atatched file with detail doc for SOAP API's. Have a look at it and let us know your feedback.
