So you don’t have a WADL, Postman v1 Collection or OpenAPI file for your REST api?
There are a few options available for this scenario.
- Use SoapUI Endpoint Explorer with the uri leading to an active service endpoint.
- SoapUI can create a new REST interface and Project based on that one request
- Create an empty Project and add the request to it
- Right-click and select “New REST Service from URI”
SoapUI will create an API resource object for you and provide editor windows to add details needed for your resources.
- If the ApI contains an endpoint that uses an identifier in the path, specify this by using Parameter syntax -> #{PARAMETER_NAME} instead of the hard-coded value (ex. /api/path/#{ID}
SOAP services are slightly different in that they can use different protocols besides http.
In theory, http Soap services send the soap message as an xml payload in a POST request.
You can use the SoapUI Endpoint Explorer to try these out, but for creating a full project, it is highly prefereable to obtain a WSDL service definition file.
A sample request would look like this -
todo: find an example operation as POST
