Access Magento SOAP WSDL – How to Guide

apimagento-1.9soapweb serviceswsdl

I am trying to understand the way SOAP from Magento works, so I can use it from an external application.(Magento v1.9.2)
So in order to use the web service from my third party application, I need a WSDL to interpret. How can I access the default Magento SOAP WSDL files?

Where are they?

For instance, I try to acces the SOAP methods from Delphi XE, and for that I need to import a WSDL file.

I searched the web for the SOAP API specifications and I found this:

http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/m1x/api/soap/catalog/catalogProduct/catalog_product.list.html

as an example on how to access the SOAP from php…

But as I said from Delphi I need to import a WSDL in order to be able to work with the web service.

So how can I get a hold of the WSDL files?

SOAP V1: http://magentohost/index.php/api/soap/?wsdl (this one is more like RPC, no concrete operations defined in WSDL, just call)
SOAP V2: http://magentohost/index.php/api/v2_soap?wsdl=1 . For strongly-typed languages use this one and remember to enable WS-I compliance mode on Magento side: Services > Magento Core API > WS-I Compliance to Yes

Magento 1.9 – Problems Calling Magento SOAP V2 Service in C#

The problem you're experiencing is that .NET/C# is having trouble parsing the content type Magento is sending along with it's response. SOAP is notoriously finicky about receiving just the right stuff in just the right format. Couple that with PHP's rather poor implementation of the protocol and you're in for a lot of fun.

I'm looking at a Magento 1.9 for the following information:

After some digging I found that the header for the SOAP calls are set in app/code/core/Mage/Api/Model/Server/V2/Adapter/Soap.php on line 52.

51. ->clearHeaders()
52. ->setHeader('Content-Type','text/xml; charset='.$apiConfigCharset)
53. ->setBod...

Note that that Content-Type header matches your text/xml; charset=utf-8 desired charset. Adjusting line 52 to:

52. ->setHeader('Content-Type','text/xml; charset='.$apiConfigCharset, true)

tells Magento to force overwriting that header if it's already set.

Make sure to make a copy of the file with it's full path to the app/code/local/Mage/... to avoid overwriting core files. You'll thank me when you want to upgrade Magento at some point.

Also, make sure to look carefully, there's two setHeader() calls in that file.

And finally, there's also a WS-I compliant SOAP adapter available, the same fix applies to that file. You can find it in app/code/core/Mage/Api/Model/Server/Wsi/Adapter/Soap.php.
