The TOPICA Framework includes a set built-in SOAP web services, that define an API. This API contains functioniality for almost all parts of TOPICA. That is, almost anything that can be done interactively in the user interface, may be done using this API.

In TOPICA releases 4.23 and later, there is a menu item in the main menu, that list the built-in webservices (one service = one .asmx-file).

• One service = one .asmx-file

• Each service is clickable. Clicking on the service (.asmx-file) displays the methods in that service.

  This is the standard test-page auto generated for services implemented in ASP.NET.

• Each method is also clickable. Clicking on a method shows how to call each method (SOAP XML syntax).

  Methods that only take prameters of simple types may be invoked. It is possible to enter values for the parameters, and get the result displayed as XML.

  Almost all methods take a SessionGuid parameter (of type Guid). Because Guid is not a simple type, these methods cannot be invoked. Many methods, that only take parameters of simple type (except for SessionGuid), have a corresponding Test method

Use this functionality as the primary documentation of the services, as this is automatically updated (the information in this documentation may not to be fully updated).
