How to write the CURL options to connect to API with custom entry XML body raw

[docasar]

Hello,

 

I am trying to connect to our current database with our shipping company so I can update the status of the delivered orders. To do that, I am currently using insert from URL and then parse the code to extract the info I need. However, I believe there should be a cleaner and safer way to do it using webservice.

So I downloaded the documentation and looks very straightforward to set and I have been able to set up the POST and send it getting the data as XML using POSTMAN (as very well explained here:  http://www.filemakerprogurus.com/filemaker-api-integration-salvatore-coleangelo/ ) and also in the great post by luminfire https://luminfire.com/2017/06/12/curling-filemaker-16/.

However, when I try the same parameters on my script in filemaker, I get all the time an error saying that something like  "Entry XML Schema/template it is not loaded correctly". Following the documentation of the API I see that on Postman I need to insert on the Body RAW some kind of code that looks like this: 

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<SeguimientoEnviosRequest xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation='SeguimientoEnviosRequest.xsd'>

<Solicitante>x</Solicitante><Dato>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</Dato>

</SeguimientoEnviosRequest>

but I don't know which settings I have to do on my script to make the call work.

Any suggestions as to where to put this info so the can be passed with the CURL? I am a bit desperate now because I see the amazing possibilities that the interaction with the web service may bring but I can find a way to make it work...

Thanks a lot for your always invaluable support!!

This is how postmant shows the cURL code:

curl -X POST \
  https://www.correosexpress.com/wpsc/apiRestSeguimientoEnvios/rest/seguimientoEnvios \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic Zmxhc2thOmlUZnl4' \
  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' \
  -H 'Postman-Token: ff84b952-74c8-f06b-976d-f860d9d66de7' \
  -d '<?xml version='\''1.0'\'' encoding='\''UTF-8'\''?><SeguimientoEnviosRequest xmlns:xsi='\''http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'\'' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation='\''SeguimientoEnviosRequest.xsd'\''><Solicitante>x</Solicitante><Dato>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</Dato> </SeguimientoEnviosRequest>'

Any ideas how to translate that into FIlemaker curl options so it would work? Aparently that last part of the code "-d" is what is failing to send with POST on Filemaker

Thanks a lot...

Ok... After LOTS of testing I figure out how it should be done, so I am just updating my own post to share the info in case anyother "amateur" developer as myself would encouter similar challenge 

I just figure out how to pass that "-d" data with the XML code, what I did was:

1) Create variable ( $rawdata ; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="SeguimientoEnviosRequest.xsd"><Solicitante>1</Solicitante><Dato>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</Dato> </SeguimientoEnviosRequest>)

2) I was using the lumifire example for CURL testing (  https://luminfire.com/2017/06/12/curling-filemaker-16/)  and on the $options variable that is set on their script I just added an extra curl option as: " -d " & "\"" & Substitute ( $rawdata; "\""; "\\\"" ) & "\""

3) FEEL THE JOY!!!!! when I get the XML info back 

Thanks a lot,

Best regards!
