Using Web Services in Business Central AL - Part 2

[@sanjeevpandita]

Everytime I see a video of yours I learn something new. Please keep making them for mortals like us and keep thinking out loud on the videos so that we can also understand the thought process behind writing the code and functions.

[@sanjeevpandita]

Do you have a github link for this ?

[@Hougaard]

More to come!

Thank you Erik. Great explanation and nice video again.Keep up the great work!

[@derhustlerderhustler2589]

It would be very nice if you could put the Link to the Website somewhere where the watchers of the video could access it very easy. Finding the right version is quite Difficult. What did you use as USER ID?

[@Hougaard]

Ohh.. some of the old videos doesn't have the github link: github.com/hougaard/KZbin-Video-Sources

[@ich2838]

It's so nice to learn those things from you. Could you make a video on how to read data from SOAP/Rest services?

[@Hougaard]

Rest is on my list, soap is properly not... Only perhaps how to do Oauth based Soap into Business Central (from C#/dotnet)

[@scottrideout8109]

Great example and easy to follow. Any ideas how to add root element(s)?

[@Hougaard]

Valid XML only have one root element, that's what the AVR structure (in the video) becomes when adding it to the XmlDocument.

[@scottrideout8109]

@@Hougaard Ah, bad coding on my part. Thanks for quick reply and great videos!

[@florenciabordagorry4770]

Hi Erik, thanks for your videos. I have a question: For what reasons might the connection fail? I followed the step-by-step instructions but I can't connect to the service. I get the error we typed: "Cannot Contact USPS, Connection Error!" (I've already registred in the page)

[@Hougaard]

And httprequest are allowed on the extension? (Check configuration in extension management)

[@tiko8a]

Hey Erik what about the Api querys? i dont get it we can use it for post, get, update and delete info to BC?

[@Hougaard]

Yes, you can use pages (or api pages) with the OData protocol.

[@razunk3166]

Hey. Thanks for some great videos. Im a bit confused. I see on the USPS website, that Revision is a required XML field, but i dont see you use it, how do you make that work? Thanks.

[@Hougaard]

Dunno... Never had any issues with that missing...

[@ricardaskersulis3811]

Hi, Erick. Is there any way to use HttpClient for uploading files into FTP server (BC on prem)? if no, what would be the way to do it? thanks in advance!

[@Hougaard]

Not right now...

[@vivekvemula1657]

Thank you Eric for nice videos. Very informative. We have a problem. I am able to get customer data from api as Json object. But how do I load them into BC Customer table and render them to BC?

[@Hougaard]

Look at the other http methods POST is Insert and PATCH is modify.

Thank you so much for such great content, I created an account in USPS and replicated the whole process as it is , but when i run the process i am getting the following error : 80040B1A Authorization failure. Perhaps username and/or password is incorrect. USPSCOM::DoAuth Now i dont know the reason why this error is coming even after double checking every step by matching yous. Is it because of password ?As i havn't mentioned the password (of my USPS account) anywhere apart from username which i have mentioned at the setup like shown in video. If its the password issue, please specify where in the code should i specify? Please Help! Thanks in Advance!

[@Hougaard]

Your USPS USERID (not password) must be in the USERID attribute of the AVR tag.

[@alexjose7100]

Yes I checked ..my user ID is there in the AVR tag..Also i ran the DLL you mentioned on setup on my browser it's giving me the same error
