Call SOAP api form c# using action, location, endpoint & namespace

Question

I have never used soap api.

I have requirements that i have to call soap api & send response as a json(REST) api.

I have Web Service API Location(...?wsdl), Endpoint, Namespace & Soap action.

I also have username, password & other input parameters.

I am not sure how to create soap Envelope using above info & call api from c#.

Can anyone suggest me how to do it.

This is service GetRxHistory i am trying to call https://pharmacy.esihealthcaresolutions.com:9100/v4.0/RxHistoryService.svc?wsdl/GetRxHistory

Answer 1

First add service reference to your project using References > Add > Service Reference. In the address field enter the url for your wsdl file:

https://pharmacy.esihealthcaresolutions.com:9100/v4.0/RxHistoryService.svc?singleWsdl

You can create the client for calling this API using:

RxHistoryServiceContractClient client = new RxHistoryServiceContractClient();

You can then call various operations on the service using the client object.

client.xxxx = xxx;
client.xxx = xxx;

In your case, it would be something like this for your username and password:

client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "your username";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "your password";

Finally, to get a response you'd write something like this:

try
    {
      _Client.Open();

You'd pass your request or client object here:

GetRxHistoryResponse _Response = _Client.{MethodToGetResponse}(client);

      _Client.Close();
    }
catch (Exception ex)  
    { 

    }
