I need to make a SOAP webservice call to https://sandbox.mediamind.com/Eyeblaster.MediaMind.API/V2/AuthenticationService.svc?wsdl and to use the operation ClientLogin while passing through the parameters: ApplicationKey, Password, and UserName. The response is UserSecurityToken. They are all strings.
Here is the link fully explaining what I am trying to do: https://sandbox.mediamind.com/Eyeblaster.MediaMind.API.Doc/?v=3
How can I do this on the command line? (Windows and/or Linux would be helpful)
On linux command line, you can simply execute:
curl -H "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" -H "SOAPAction:" -d @your_soap_request.xml -X POST https://ws.paymentech.net/PaymentechGateway
For Windows:
Save the following as MSFT.vbs:
set SOAPClient = createobject("MSSOAP.SOAPClient")
SOAPClient.mssoapinit "https://sandbox.mediamind.com/Eyeblaster.MediaMind.API/V2/AuthenticationService.svc?wsdl"
WScript.Echo "MSFT = " & SOAPClient.GetQuote("MSFT")
Then from a command prompt, run:
C:\>MSFT.vbs
Reference: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bgroth/archive/2004/10/21/246155.aspx
Using CURL:
SOAP_USER='myusername'
PASSWORD='mypassword'
AUTHENTICATION="$SOAP_USER:$PASSWORD"
URL='http://mysoapserver:8080/meeting/aws'
SOAPFILE=getCurrentMeetingStatus.txt
TIMEOUT=5
CURL request:
curl --user "${AUTHENTICATION}" --header 'Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8' --data @"${SOAPFILE}" "${URL}" --connect-timeout $TIMEOUT
I use this to verify response:
http_code=$(curl --write-out "%{http_code}\n" --silent --user "${AUTHENTICATION}" --header 'Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8' --data @"${SOAPFILE}" "${URL}" --connect-timeout $TIMEOUT --output /dev/null)
if [[ $http_code -gt 400 ]]; # 400 and 500 Client and Server Error codes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes
then
echo "Error: HTTP response ($http_code) getting URL: $URL"
echo "Please verify parameters/backend. Username: $SOAP_USER Password: $PASSWORD Press any key to continue..."
read entervalue || continue
fi
Here is another sample CURL - SOAP (WSDL) request for bank swift codes
Request
curl -X POST http://www.thomas-bayer.com/axis2/services/BLZService \
-H 'Content-Type: text/xml' \
-H 'SOAPAction: blz:getBank' \
-d '
<soapenv:Envelope

<blz:blz>10020200</blz:blz>

For Windows users looking for a PowerShell alternative, here it is (using POST). I've split it up onto multiple lines for readability.
$url = 'https://sandbox.mediamind.com/Eyeblaster.MediaMind.API/V2/AuthenticationService.svc'
$headers = @{
'Content-Type' = 'text/xml';
'SOAPAction' = 'http://api.eyeblaster.com/IAuthenticationService/ClientLogin'
}
$envelope = @'
<Envelope xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<Body>
<yourEnvelopeContentsHere/>
</Body>
</Envelope>
'@ # <--- This line must not be indented
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Headers $headers -Method POST -Body $envelope
curl --header "Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8" --header "SOAPAction:ACTION_YOU_WANT_TO_CALL" --data @FILE_NAME URL_OF_THE_SERVICE
Above command was helpful for me
Example
curl --header "Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8" --header "SOAPAction:urn:GetVehicleLimitedInfo" --data @request.xml http://11.22.33.231:9080/VehicleInfoQueryService.asmx
For Windows I found this working:
Set http = CreateObject("Microsoft.XmlHttp")
http.open "GET", "http://www.mywebservice.com/webmethod.asmx?WSDL", FALSE
http.send ""
WScript.Echo http.responseText
