I need to get the ID's of the records in a cross-reference field using Web API. Is there an API method to solve this type of task? Or at least I want to know, how to get the value of a specific field?
There are many different methods described in the documentation for operating with list fields (such as GetValuesListValue) and I wonder if there a same way to solve my task.
I can use ExecuteSeach method, but it isn't very convenient.
Alexander, you can either use the REST or Webservices APIs.
REST APIs
Using the Get content by id, /api/core/content/*contentid*
Then you can pass OData to just get the field (id) contents by passing the following in the body
{"Value":"?$filter=FieldId eq '*field id of cross-reference field*'"}
Webservices APIs
You can call the /ws/record.asmx GetRecordById passing the following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchemainstance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetRecordById xmlns="http://archer-tech.com/webservices/">
<sessionToken>session token</sessionToken>
<moduleId>int</moduleId>
<contentId>int</contentId>
</GetRecordById>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Then you'd have to iterate through the returned XML to get the field contents.

I'm having problems with the Sonos api for Extendedmetadata, please see below output. The art and extra information is not shown for track info.

It seems I missed the title tag in mediaMetadata, which was not mentioned in any Sonos examples and Manuals.....
:-)
First, trackMetadata doesn't have any Extra field. Check http://musicpartners.sonos.com/node/83 for detailed information.
Second, what do you mean by art information?
Keep in mind that non-mandatory fields specified in the wsdl file that are not generated in your python/php code won't appear in the SOAP response.
You need to provide more information about your code. We can't just guess.
I am trying not to re-invent the wheel here...
I have found some nice documentation on CalDav sync implementation there
According to its website, DaviCal is rfc6578-compliant since v. 0.9.8 (see here).
I therefore first send my request to get the sync token as follows:
PROPFIND http://my_cal_srv/user/calendar_path HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml; charset="utf-8"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<d:propfind xmlns:d='DAV:'>
<d:prop>
<d:displayname />
<d:sync-token />
</d:prop>
</d:propfind>
This returns data as expected:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<multistatus xmlns="DAV:">
<response>
<href>/caldav.php/user/calendar_path/</href>
<propstat>
<prop>
<displayname>My Calendar</displayname>
<sync-token>data:,9</sync-token>
</prop>
<status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</status>
</propstat>
</response>
</multistatus>
So far so good, I have a token, it's "data: ,9". So, let's just try to get changes since 8, the token I had when I queried the server prior to adding some event.
REPORT http://my_cal_srv/user/calendar_path HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml; charset="utf-8"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<d:sync-collection xmlns:d="DAV:">
<d:sync-token>8</d:sync-token>
<d:sync-level>1</d:sync-level>
<d:prop>
<d:getetag/>
</d:prop>
</d:sync-collection>
The answer is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<multistatus xmlns="DAV:">
<response>
<href>/caldav.php/user/path/86166f9c-3e2e-4242-9a28-0f3bfb1dd67a-caldavsyncadapter.ics</href>
<propstat>
<prop>
<getetag>"5ed2101b0c867e490dbd71d40c7071bb"</getetag>
</prop>
<status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</status>
</propstat>
</response>
<response>
<href>/caldav.php/user/path/cb354fab-b41d-49ad-8a4f-8d68c9090ea0.ics</href>
<propstat>

<getetag>"334892703f4151024e9232eab9b515a7"</getetag>
</prop>
<status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</status>
</propstat>
</response>
<sync-token>data:,9</sync-token>
</multistatus>
After deleting an entry (so I get sync-token 10, and still compare using token 8), I get following result :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<multistatus xmlns="DAV:">
<response>
<href>/caldav.php/user/cal_path/86166f9c-3e2e-4242-9a28-0f3bfb1dd67a-caldavsyncadapter.ics</href>
<status>HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found</status>
</response>
<response>
<href>/caldav.php/user/cal_path/cb354fab-b41d-49ad-8a4f-8d68c9090ea0.ics</href>
<propstat>

<getetag>"334892703f4151024e9232eab9b515a7"</getetag>
</prop>
<status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</status>
</propstat>
</response>
<sync-token>data:,10</sync-token>
</multistatus>
So I am a little confused here as I don't really know how to interpret these results...
Could anybody please explain to me how to extract the sync info from here? It is a little hard to figure out the changes types because the ICS namings are unclear...
Thanks in advance for helping out... And merry X-Mas !

That you get a "data:,9" doesn't imply you can actually query "data:,8" or ,7 etc. Sync tokens are opaque and do NOT give you a versioning system (you need sth like DAV Versioning Extensions for that).
DAV sync-tokens are a simple optimization technique - nothing more. They are completely opaque to the client and the server can expire sync tokens at any time (and is not required to save tombstones and such). Eg a server which can't store tombstones can simply expire tokens on DELETE requests.
The way you use sync-tokens is:
to figure out which child collections of a parent collection need to be re-synced
to optimize syncing of a the resources within a child collection
1) Which child collections need to be synced
Assume you have a collection of calendars (e.g. my_cal_srv/user/) and you do a PROPFIND Depth:1 on this collection, asking for the sync-tokens of the child collections. If those don't match the ones of your clients cache anymore, you know you need to perform a sync of just those child collections.
Note: do NOT use the token you got back from this request to sync the child collection (which is what you do above). It might have expired already. Within sync-reports only use tokens you got from sync-reports!
2) Optimizing syncing of the collection contents
Again: sync-token's are an optimization, nothing more. You always need to be prepared to get an (in)valid-sync-token precondition error (which means the server expired the token) and do a full refetch of the collection contents! And then compare that (URL,ETag) to your cached version to figure out what the changes are. (essentially all the steps you need to do when you have a server which doesn't support sync-reports).
If you get a sync-token in the sync-report results, you can then use it in the next sync-request. If the server still has the state, it'll just give you the changes. If it expired the token, it'll give you the sync-token error.
Note: In case it isn't obvious - in the very first sync-request you don't (can't) provide a token. You run the query w/o a token and get back all the contents. You do the same again if the server sends you an (in)valid-sync-token error.
You're not doing a correct request. In your request you have:
<d:sync-token>8</d:sync-token>
But this should be:
<d:sync-token>data:,8</d:sync-token>
Aside from that, the first response you are getting tells you that:
These resources have been changed or newly created:
/caldav.php/user/path/86166f9c-3e2e-4242-9a28-0f3bfb1dd67a-caldavsyncadapter.ics
/caldav.php/user/path/cb354fab-b41d-49ad-8a4f-8d68c9090ea0.ics
The second response tells you:
This resource has been changed or newly created:
/caldav.php/user/cal_path/cb354fab-b41d-49ad-8a4f-8d68c9090ea0.ics
This resource has been deleted:
/caldav.php/user/cal_path/86166f9c-3e2e-4242-9a28-0f3bfb1dd67a-caldavsyncadapter.ics
I'm working with ebay Trading API for listing the product but after I'm stucking in it where i need to set value for a option in Return policy Type API, I need to set ShippingCostPaidByOption with value either Paid by buyer or Paid by Seller?
Similarly I need to set RefundOption value either Money or Money or item replace.
To get the applicable RefundOption and ShippingCostPaidByOption values, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ReturnPolicyDetails, and then look for the ReturnPolicyDetails.Refund.RefundOption and ReturnPolicyDetails.ShippingCostPaidBy.ShippingCostPaidByOption fields in the response. The value of the fields can be used in your AddItem request.
The following example can be used as a request to GeteBayDetails using the eBay API explorer.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GeteBayDetailsRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<RequesterCredentials>
<eBayAuthToken>[ADD YOU OWN AUTH TOKEN</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
<DetailName>ReturnPolicyDetails</DetailName>
</GeteBayDetailsRequest>
A typical response will look like the following.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<GeteBayDetailsResponse xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<ReturnPolicyDetails>
<Refund>
<RefundOption>MoneyBackOrExchange</RefundOption>
<Description>Money back or exchange (buyer's choice)</Description>
</Refund>
</ReturnPolicyDetails>
<ShippingCostPaidBy>
<ShippingCostPaidByOption>Buyer</ShippingCostPaidByOption>
<Description>Buyer</Description>
</ShippingCostPaidBy>
</ReturnPolicyDetails>
</GeteBayDetailsResponse>
I am trying to test my ability to import TimeActivity records and even when using the sample Create Request XML for TimeActivity I get an error:
Apache Tomcat/7.0.23 - Error report HTTP Status 400 - type Status reportmessage description The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect ().Apache Tomcat/7.0.23
below is my sample xml create request (pulled from https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0025_quickbooksapi/0050_data_services/v2/0400_quickbooks_online/timeactivity)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

What am I doing wrong here?
Sharing a sample TimeActivity create request. Please check other reference attributes like Vendor, Class etc. It should work.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TimeActivity xmlns='http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/v2'>

<EndTime>2012-08-30T13:15:00-07:00</EndTime>
<Description/>
</TimeActivity>
There should be couple of small changes in the sample request ( We will update the doc )
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TimeActivity xmlns:ns2="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/qbo" xmlns="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/v2">

<VendorId idDomain="QBO">5</VendorId>
</Vendor>
<CustomerId>2</CustomerId>
<ItemId>3</ItemId>
<Taxable>true</Taxable>
<HourlyRate>10.5</HourlyRate>
<BillableStatus>Billable</BillableStatus>
<Hours>10</Hours>
<Minutes>5</Minutes>
<Description>This is a Description</Description>
</TimeActivity>
First replace all the reference values with the same of your test data.
For ex - VendorId, Class, Item and Customer
There are two bugs in the sample request.
1. There should be a space between 'VendorId' and 'idDomain' ( Ref -5th line of the req )
2. According to the doc, " Either method of indicating duration can be entered, but not both. Hours/Minutes OR StartTime/EndTime is required."
So plz remove any one of these. ( I've removed StartTime/EndTime )
Otherwise you'll get the error which you have mentioned above.
That is - Response code 400, Error msg - TIME_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_DURATION_TYPES_PRESENT
Please let us know if the above changes work for you.
I tried the same XML in Api Explorer. It worked fine for me. PFB snapshot. Please check if you are facing any encoding issue.
Please let me know if it works for you.
I am being returned some XML from a web service. Basically, the xml looks like this:
<response>
<data>
More XML here but the it's escaped by XML entities
</data>
</response>
so, as you can see, I have xml that is valid, but the stuff inside data tag is escaped with XML entities. what's the best (most efficient) way for me to feed this into the parser?
What I am doing right now is, when I get the data from web service, I convert it into NSString....then replace the "XML escaped entities" with real ones.....then convert it back into NSData...then feed it into the parser. This doesn't seem like a very good solution so I was wondering if there's a better way to do it?
Thanks.
Alright, here's the xml that I am getting:
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><s:Header><ActivityId CorrelationId="d39007b5-ee69-41c7-a61d-831b456f9ea3" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2004/09/ServiceModel/Diagnostics">aa88d1cd-253c-48d1-abeb-62a880bea806</ActivityId></s:Header><s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><LoginResponse xmlns="http://MSS"><LoginResult><LoginInformation>

<CompanyID>17034</CompanyID>
<CompanyName>PlanET Demonstration Agency</CompanyName>
</User>
</LoginInformation></LoginResult></LoginResponse></s:Body></s:Envelope>
As you can see, everything in is escaped.
That's kind of horrifying. Why don't you just take the contents of that tag (e.g. the data with the entities) and just pass that through another NSXMLParser? The first parser will have decoded the entities, and the second parser will be presented with the decoded version of the contents of that tag.
