Review the Basics

Use to introduce a demo, video, Q&A, etc.

SOAP? APIs? OAuth?

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)A method of exchanging information through web services Information structured in XML and relayed via HTTP

API (Application Programming Interface)A tool that provides a definition of the operations, inputs, and outputs of a service to integrate with

OAuth (Open Authorization)The standard used by APIs for securely sharing data to clients Several flows require various steps, ex: Web Server Application Flow.

Building the Integration

Use to introduce a demo, video, Q&A, etc.

AuthorizationOAuth 2.0 HandshakeThe Web Server Applications Flow : The goal is to get the access token needed to access the APIWe will store the access token in a custom setting to be readily available for use in future callouts

(ANSWERS HERE) How often is this done? Expiration? Gotchas? Tips?

AuthorizationCode Sample(Sample OAuth flow code here)(ANSWERS HERE) How do we form the request? Credentials? Where do we store the access token? Key points, tips.

Using SOAP ..for our callouts Consume a WSDL of the target serviceUse the Generate from WSDL feature in Develop > Apex ClassesMagically creates stub methods (with return and parameter type info)! What could possibly go wrong?

And if (when?) that goes wrongManually build an HTTP callout : resource, request, body (XML with parameters)

Using SOAP Build a request

Set the body

Using SOAP Passing values in the request bodyAccess Token:

Body :

Using SOAPMake the callout

Inspect the Solution

Use to introduce a demo, video, Q&A, etc.

Understanding the CalloutWhy did we do this?Analyze the approachPros and cons, alternativesGotchas Tips and tricks

Callout executedWhat happens next?What could happen? Success, Error in calloutsSuccess : parsing the resultsErrors : Bad request? Other error codes and their meanings, how to analyze, understand, correct

200 OKWe have results!How do we parse the results? JSON? XML? Deserializing, building a parser, etc.
