Integration w/ Able - Dataport web services

Post by RickatRITE » Tue Sep 09, 2008 5:27 pm

Hello,

Is there a web service I can access to use as a means to integrate the e-commerce software with some other systems we have?

I'm under the impression that dataport uses a web service to dump it's information - could I make use of it OR does Dataport have an API I could access?

Thanks for the help.

Rick

I haven't seen anything specific on the Dataport API.

When I wrote my QuickBooks integration module, I wrote my own .Net web service. Can't say the learning curve was fun, but it was educational :wink:

DataPort operations are handled with a custom webservice, strongly coupled with DataPort, and is not intended to be used as a general purpose API. This API will not be published to be consumed by end users because it is likely to change frequently as DataPort evolves.

Also could you please explain what sort of information you need in this integration process.
