SOAP Connections

We need to connect to a SOAP API and are looking for best practices.

  • If the API is hosted externally, can we access it directly using a transform?
  • If the API is hosted locally (within our network), is there a way to use an agent to connect to it?

Thanks!

Yes and yes. For public reachable hosts you could for example leverage a SOAP Python library and external transforms.

For internal hosts you can use the Agent Proxy which shows up when you create a new Rest API Source:

You can than create a source-based external transforms and receive a wired up requests session which you can use to make requests to the internal host.
