Service endpoints

Each service has a specific endpoint address. The address varies if you are using REST or SOAP.

The endpoint address is comprised of the Web Services instance base URL (see Web Services base URL), the protocol (rest or soap), and the service name (security, standard, patron, or admin).

SOAP requests

For SOAP requests, you send the request directly to the endpoint address: <baseURL>/<protocol>/<service>

For example:

http://library.example.org:8080/symws/soap/security

http://library.example.org:8080/symws/soap/admin

For more information about sending requests, see Making SOAP requests.

REST requests

For REST requests, you must also append the operation name to the URL, as follows: <baseURL>/<protocol>/<service>/<operationName>

For example:

http://library.example.org:8080/symws/rest/standard/searchCatalog

http://library.example.org:8080/symws/rest/security/loginUser

For more information about sending requests, see Making REST requests.
