To make migration easier, this page lists existing SOAP methods and their replacements in the REST and JSON APIs. You can generate a client from the REST Swagger documentation or from the JSON schema definitions. | SOAP Method | REST-API (http-method URL) | JSON-API | | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | Campaign.getProductCampaigns(...) | GET ../rest/{apiversion}/campaign/{channel}/product | ../ProductCampaign.ff?do=getProductCampaigns\&format=json&.. | | Campaign.getShoppingCartCampaigns(...) | GET ../rest/{apiversion}/campaign/{channel}/shoppingcart | ../ProductCampaign.ff?do=getShoppingCartCampaigns\&format=json&.. | | Campaign.getPageCampaigns(...) | GET ../rest/{apiversion}/campaign/{channel}/page | ../ProductCampaign.ff?do=getPageCampaigns\&format=json&.. | | ChannelManagement.createChannel(...) | We have no record of these methods being used, so they can be deleted without replacement. If you are actually using any of them, please contact Support to coordinate further steps. These acions can, generally, be performed via the user interface. | | | ChannelManagement.applyLocaleDefaults(...) | | | | ChannelManagement.applyInitTemplate(...) | | | | ChannelManagement.deleteChannel(...) | | | | ChannelManagement.getAllChannels(...) | | | | Import.deleteRecord(...) | DELETE ../rest/{apiversion}/records/{channel}?recordId=x | ../Delete.ff | | Import.deleteRecords(...) | DELETE ../rest/{apiversion}/records/{channel}?recordId=x\&recordId=y | Sadly, there is no JSON-API replacement for this method. | | Import.insertRecord(...) | POST ../rest/{apiversion}/records/{channel} | ../Insert.ff | | Import.insertRecords(...) | POST ../rest/{apiversion}/records/{channel} | Sadly, there is no JSON-API replacement for this method. | | Import.downloadProductExport(...) | We have no record of this method being used, so they can be deleted without replacement.

Additionally, you can receive import errors per mail at set intervals or review them via the interface, so there is no replacement for this method.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.fact-finder.com/integration/generic-integration-topics/migration-guide-from-soap-to-rest-or-json.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
