Magento 1.9 SOAP API C# – Problem with Additional Attribute

magento-1.9soap

I'm using SOAP API v2 for Magento. I have a problem with product creation.

All fields are correctly set, but custom attributes that I've defined. These fields remains empty when I show it in panel. This is my code:

var mservice = new Mage_Api_Model_Server_Wsi_HandlerPortTypeClient();
        string mlogin = mservice.login("me", "*************");

        catalogProductCreateEntity newProduct = new catalogProductCreateEntity();

        newProduct.name = "Title here";
        newProduct.description = "Blabla bla bla";
        newProduct.short_description = "blalblalbla";
        newProduct.weight = "0";
        newProduct.status = "1";
        newProduct.price = "13.50";
        newProduct.tax_class_id = "2";

        associativeEntity[] AdditionalAttributes = new associativeEntity[1];
        associativeEntity AdditionalAttribute = new associativeEntity();
        AdditionalAttribute.key = "ean13";
        AdditionalAttribute.value = "978883226238";                       

        AdditionalAttributes[0] = AdditionalAttribute;       

        newProduct.additional_attributes = AdditionalAttributes;                                                                  

        try
        {
            mservice.catalogProductCreate(mlogin, "simple", "4", "93bffellag44fh1ll24-x", newProduct, null);                                
        }
        catch (Exception merror)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Errore soap magento: " + merror.Message);
            Console.Read();
        }

Probably you use SOAPv2 with WS-I

The problem: SOAPv2 with WS-I does not use the single_data and multi_data attributes. You must change Magento file app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product/Api/V2.php

In block if (property_exists($productData, 'additional_attributes')) {...}

after 265 line paste

if (gettype($productData->additional_attributes) == 'array') {
    foreach ($productData->additional_attributes as $k => $v) {
        $_attrCode = $k;
        $productData->$_attrCode = $v;
    }
}

Magento – Fetch catalogCategoryTree through Soap API fails with custom attribute

The tree method returns objects of type catalogCategoryTree that looks like this:

<complexType name="catalogCategoryTree">
    <all>
        <element name="category_id" type="xsd:int"/>
        <element name="parent_id" type="xsd:int"/>
        <element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>
        <element name="position" type="xsd:int"/>
        <element name="level" type="xsd:int"/>
        <element name="children" type="typens:ArrayOfCatalogCategoryEntities"/>
    </all>
</complexType>

This one does not contain the field legacy_id. You can extend the api and add it. Here are some pointers on who to extend the wsdl.

Also take a look at the tree method in the category API, specially the last lines:

$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCollection()
            ->setStoreId($this->_getStoreId($store))
            ->addAttributeToSelect('name')
            ->addAttributeToSelect('is_active');

$tree->addCollectionData($collection, true);
return $this->_nodeToArray($root);

Your attribute is not added to the collection. So you can override this method to add it.
Also the returned value is processed by the method _nodeToArray() that looks like this:

protected function _nodeToArray(Varien_Data_Tree_Node $node)
{
    // Only basic category data
    $result = array();
    $result['category_id'] = $node->getId();
    $result['parent_id']   = $node->getParentId();
    $result['name']        = $node->getName();
    $result['is_active']   = $node->getIsActive();
    $result['position']    = $node->getPosition();
    $result['level']       = $node->getLevel();
    $result['children']    = array();

    foreach ($node->getChildren() as $child) {
        $result['children'][] = $this->_nodeToArray($child);
    }

    return $result;
}

You may need to override this also to include your attribute value in the result array.

Problem Filtering SOAP API Product List with Store ID

Here is my solution and it works:

$filters = array (
  'sku' => array('eq' => 'ABC')
);
$soap->call($session_id, 'product.list', array($filters, 'store_code'));
