Using the API

[Andre72]

Hi,
as I read here http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/API_documentation there's an API for VM2 available.
This link refer to another link http://vm1.directrouter.com/~virtuem/api/.

But this is a dead link since some days.
So can you help me please to find out more about the using of the API as I found absolut no docs, samples, hints etc. ...

Thanks

Andre

what are you trying to do?

[Andre72]

I need to exchange data from a Windows app with VM.
In the past I'd a ODBC connect to MySQL doing that but I think the API will be safer way for.
The app should send an update of products and categories.

Do you know a way for?

Read http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Developing_a_module_or_plugin_for_VirtueMart_2

Then use the models to get and store your data and you are on the save side

Thanks for the hint ...

You suggest to develope a PlugIn - so there's not meaning for API as REST or SOAP webservice right?

Hello,

Please take a look over here: http://www.virtuemart-datamanager.com/
Same open source project for the above: http://sourceforge.net/projects/soa-virtuemart/
It's the official SOAP solution  (free) and some extra payed extrensions.
