Does TRKD support both SOAP and REST?

The TRKD developer documentation clearly states it supports SOAP/XML, i.e

"...using today's industry standard protocols (SOAP and XML)."

Yet the TRKD API portal allows you to choose a content type of JSON. Also, the developer documentation references many examples to request for data using JSON. Can someone clear up the confusion? I didn't find anywhere within the developer documentation REST or using JSON with SOAP.

thank you.

  • TRKD API services support SOAP (XML). The majority of the services also support JSON,
    POST calls with JSON formatted request in body. JSON support is a new feature that was recently added in TRKD API. Please refer to the developer guide to find the services that support JSON and information how to use the JSON format.

  • Hi @Rupert Schilling

    TRKD contains both SOAP and REST interfaces. The SOAP interface supports XML message format only while the REST interface supports JSON message only.

  • Thank you. Why doesn't the documentation specifically state this? In fact, can you point to me anywhere within any documentation where it states REST?
