I am in the process of re-writing the grading site at this moment, so I would not recommend using the interface as this time as all is currently changing!mleonard wrote:What is the status of this SOAP interface?
I can access the test server (e.g. to fetch a list of club names), but I'm not getting any results back for individual players.
If this was put live can you provide the URL/URI?
Still hasn't gone live, probably because a lack of use / demand. It's nice to see someone other than me wanting to use it.mleonard wrote:What is the status of this SOAP interface?

Code: Select all
<?php
$sc = new SoapClient("http://mpeacock.demon.co.uk/dspare2/services/soap/wsdl");
$param1['name'] = 'Peacock';
$result = $sc->__soapCall('ecfdata.players', $param1);
// print result
print var_dump($result)."\n";
?>
The SOAP interface is fully documented and has been in beta for years. There is example client code in PHP, Java and javascript. We got permission from the ECF to produce it.Malcolm Peacock wrote:Just out of interest, what would you be using it for?
I actually have the ECF grading data in my online chess match results site, and I was curious to see how the drupal soap service module worked, so I set one up. The php code you would need to access it is below...
If anyone is interested, we could then figure out if I am allowed to do this, how much traffic there would be and what other services you would want.
(no point me doing it though if Carl already has)
