Laks - thanks again. I had set the Content-Type to application/xml; it was supposed to be text/xml.

Thanks again for humoring these amateur questions, I'm very thankful for your help.

Hello,

We normally get this error when a supporting Content-type was not set? It has to be set as one of the requests Headers. Under Headers add a Key that says Content-Type and a Value that says text/xml. Hope this helps.

Hi again!

I'm now getting the following response on Postman:

The server cannot service the request because the media type is unsupported.

My request is exactly how you described above, and I'm sending it as application/xml, in a POST request. I noticed, however, that my password contains special characters (#, %, !, $); do you think this is causing the problem?

I really appreciate your help. I have no experience with SOAP so I thought I could send a regular HTTP request like in a RESTful API.

Thanks again.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. Couple of things

Instead of Params try sending it through Body as a raw XML request.
Do a POST instead of GET

Sample request in the Postman body would look something like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<MethodAPITableListV2 xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<strCompanyAccount>{{CompanyAccount}}</strCompanyAccount>
<strLogin>{{Login}}</strLogin>
<strPassword>{{Password}}</strPassword>
<strSessionID></strSessionID>
</MethodAPITableListV2>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

You can find sample XML body for different operations from here https://www.methodintegration.com/methodapi/service.asmx.

Hope it helps.

I'm trying to run an HTTP GET request. From what I understand in the the documentation the strSessionID is not a required parameter. However it's still asking me for it. I have also tried to set it to NULL; no dice.

Does anyone have any insight as to what I'm doing wrong here?
