The Kinetic Task SOAP API exposes Kinetic Task API calls via a SOAP based web service.  SOAP is a protocol that utilizes formatted XML "messages" sent over HTTP.  For more information about SOAP, see http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/.

Details

Just like the other API options, the SOAP API exposes the createStart and createDeferred methods.  For more information about utilizing the createStart and createDeferred API methods, please see the parent API Reference page.

The Kinetic Task SOAP API can be accessed using the following URLs, where SERVER is the ip address or domain name of the machine that is running Kinetic Task and PORT is the TCP port number that Kinetic Task is running under.

Endpoint URL http://SERVER:PORT/kineticTask/soap/v1/Trigger
WSDL Definition http://SERVER:PORT/kineticTask/soap/v1/Trigger?wsdl
WSDL Schema http://SERVER:PORT/kineticTask/soap/v1/Trigger?xsd=1
