SOAP Request Endpoint

I think I am having issues with our proxy server but before I try and figure that out, I wanted to see if anyone could confirm if the endpoint for the session token is: https://[domain].gsa.gov/RSAarcher/ws/general.asmx?wsdl/CreateUserSessionFromInstance

Many thanks!

Hi, I just wanted to drop a quick note in case someone else comes across this issue in the future. 

The SOAP API endpoint to retrieve the session token is: https://<Domain>/ws/general.asmx

If you use postman to test your call, make sure the Content-Type in the header is set to text/XML (it will default to application/XML which won't work).

Set the request body to this (remember to change the setting to  XML on this page as well):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchemainstance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<CreateUserSessionFromInstance xmlns="http://archer-tech.com/webservices/">
<userName> username </userName>
<instanceName> instance </instanceName>
<password> password </password>
</CreateUserSessionFromInstance>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Hi Ilya, 

Thank you. When I attempt a call with this URL I get the response 

'/Default.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/RSAarcher/ws/general.asmx'
 
Do you have any advice?

Are you sure the path is correct? Maybe you installed without RSAarcher node. But you can find the proper file by access IIS in the web server though.

Hi again,

It's my first time working with SOAP APIs. I've been able to connect to the RESTAPI but it doesn't seem to have reporting data. We're a hosted client, would that cause an issue for accessing the web service api? 

It could be that I am getting our end of the URL wrong but not sure how to find the correct one?

REST API does no work with reports. For SaaS hosted issues you need to contact support.

For checking if your API works, use the tool gently crafted for us by @JeffLetterman:
