Creating a SOAP API by importing an API from a file

Let's look at a sample scenario, where you are creating a SOAP API by importing the numberconversion.wsdl file.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have

Downloaded the SOAP API file numberconversion.wsdl with WSDL specifications from https://www.dataaccess.com/webservicesserver/numberconversion.wso?WSDL.
Manage APIs or Activate / Deactivate APIs functional privilege. If you are an Administrator you would have this privilege by default.

To create a SOAP API by importing an API from a file

Click APIs in the title navigation bar.
Click Create API.
Select Import from file.
Click Browse and select the numberconversion.wsdl file.
Click Open
Based on the specification used in the imported file, webMethods API Gateway auto populates the Type field. SOAP API supports the WSDL specifications.
Provide the API name as NumberConverter in the Name field.
Provide the version number as 1.0 in the Version field.
Select the Type as WSDL as the imported NumberConverter API is a WSDL file.
Provide a description as Converts numbers to word or dollars in the Description field.
Select the team as Administrator for which you want to assign the Search Cruise in the Team field.
This field appears only when the Team feature is enabled. It displays only the teams that you are a part of.
Click Create.
The NumberConverter API is created and the API details screen displays.
The API is created with the following operations:
- NumberToDollars
- NumberToWords
Now that you have created the NumberConverter API, you can check whether it is imported properly by using any of the API testing tools.
