is there any restful api for VM???

[Bhole]

Does any of you know of anyone maintaining a restful api for VM?
i thinking of a plugin that you install on your VM and then you can create products, delete products, create orders etc.?
This could probably also be used as a sync'ing plugin??

Valerie, it's a soap solution, a little obsolete or not ?

SOAP might not be the fastest protocol alive, but it still works well over a lot of transport protocols and will probably still do when others are already forgotten.
Nothing is wrong with SOAP, if you don't need a high performance scenario.

I guess the TO was interested in solutions, that seems to be one. Of course, better suggestions are always welcome.

personally I dislike SOAP     - find it difficult to work with and seems so complex for what should be a relatively simple task

When I need a hookup between an external "system" and I have control over the url and payload (so also applies to this question)  I use a small J comp I have built that receives JSON payloads and does what ever functions in VM that are required.
For protection I use header user/password etc
urls in the form:  /index.php?option=com_vmxxx&view=notification&task=productupdate  etc

whats a "TO"?

whats a "TO"?

It's the Thread Opener, it's like someone who starts a thread with a question and wants answers to that question. Not to confuse with threat. :-O
Since I don't have answers right now, I stop cluttering the thread.

@StefanSTS,
A solution is not always the right solution.
I have plenty of customers that tried a solution and have to find another one some weeks later because the solution was bad and loosed many money and time.

@Studio 42
I did not say it was the right solution, it might be, it might not be, but this tool is at least something that you can put into the pot for evaluation.

It might be a good tool, and if you call it "a little obsolete" you should have a good reason to say so. Do you know it, is it not working?

Just because the protocol is not JSON and not in everyones favor, it doesn't mean it's bad and should be discarded from the beginning. That's what your comment suggested.

If someone has used it or is using it and has reliable information towards the quality that would be useful.

restful api is not soap.
soap is a protocol and have nothing to do with restful.
restful is only a way to get or set data that you need in any form XML,JSON,RSS,CSV ... and have nothing to do with JSON directly.
The question was "Does any of you know of anyone maintaining a restful api for VM?" and not "does someone know a soap api", it's why my answer.

You did not offer any new information and avoided to answer the questions.

If you read more than the first line the question was also:
"i thinking of a plugin that you install on your VM and then you can create products, delete products, create orders etc.?"

So is the main point to have a plugin that does the intended work?
Or is the main point to use a REST API?

For me Alataks suggestion was exactly to the point of the question.
