andycheek (Customer) asked a question.
Do the IGL webservice APIs such as createRequest support JSON for request AND response?
- Staines_ian (RSA Security)
Yes, in fact all of our examples use json.
Is there more to your question? Are you having a failure?
- andycheek (Customer)
@Staines_ian (RSA Security) What examples? Where? When I look at the details shown in the system (under Admin > Web Services) the only mention of JSON I see is in terms of choosing the format of the response. I also don't see anything in the section of the Administration Guide.
- Staines_ian (RSA Security)
There is nothing in the Administrators guide everything is self documented. For example for createRequest it says:
Perhaps "support" for JSON is to broad a question (or answer). The data is structured using JSON structure. It does not "support" JSON in any other sense. What exactly are you trying to do that is not working as you expect or require?
Format: The format to return the data in (default = xml)
- xml
- json: Useful format for parsing into javascript or other languages. See www.json.org for details.

Thanks @Staines_ian (RSA Security) . Bottom line - we can't provide JSON as the request payload, that has to be XML. By contrast we can opt for the response to be sent back as JSON or XML. It was really the input payload I wanted to check.

request body is XML only.
for some of the APIs, you can choose what the response will be (xml/json)

Thanks @Boris.Lekumovich (RSA) - that was my assumption based on the (only) information I could find, which was the WS definitions/descriptions under the Admin > Web Services menu. Wanted to check just in case the APIs had been upgraded.
