PortaOne Data Modification via XML
PortaBilling allows you to perform operations such as data retrieval or data modification via XML API (SOAP).
This method has several advantages:
- It is based on SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and HTTPS transport, so it is accessible from any platform or operating system, and all communication between the server and clients is secure.
- The business logic embedded into the API provides integrity checks for all data modifications, and can compile records from several database tables to create a single customer information retrieval structure.
- XML API is accessible to every owner of a virtual environment or reseller. Each user’s access is automatically limited to his "visible" portion of the available data, e.g. a reseller can only retrieve information about his own sub-customers or their accounts.
Since the MR16-2 version of the PortaBilling100, each installation of the product has its own set of WSDL documents available for download from the web server. Assuming the name of the Admin server is pbslaveserver.yourdomain.com, these documents can be downloaded from https://pbslave-server.yourdomain.com/wsdl/.
