Am hoping that someone can help me out, I have looked on some previous threads but just seem to be missing something.

I am trying to make the below SOAP call:

GET: https://webservice.s6.exacttarget.com/Service.asmx

Headers:

Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8

Body:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Header>
  <wsse:Security soapenv:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">

        <wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">PASSWORD</wsse:Password>
     </wsse:UsernameToken>
  </wsse:Security>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
  <RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
     <RetrieveRequest>
        <ObjectType>DataExtensionObject[ED91E930-1FBA-4C19-93F2-78B74842F60D]</ObjectType>
        <Properties>CampaignName</Properties>
        <Properties>Description</Properties>
        <Properties>CommunicationType</Properties>
        <Filter xsi:type="SimpleFilterPart">

           <SimpleOperator>equals</SimpleOperator>
           <Value>Touch Base with Client</Value>
        </Filter>
     </RetrieveRequest>
   </RetrieveRequestMsg>
 </soapenv:Body>

Response:

  • what is the issue? have you tried to use SOAPUI to diagnose what is happening?

  • I have added the response to the original query above. I am currently using Boomerang for testing

  • Try putting brackets around [Touch Base with Client]. If that doesnt work, try double quotes. Let me know if that resolves it.

  • Hi David, thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately neither of the above 2 options had any impact on the response. I even tried removing the filter but this had no impact.

  1. It should be HTTPPOST not HTTPGET, you also need to have these two in headers:

    Content-Type:text/xml; charset=utf-8

    SOAPAction:"Retrieve"

2.The Body Content looks wrong for retrieving DataExtensionField objects. It should look something like below:

 <soapenv:Body><RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
 <RetrieveRequest>
    <ObjectType>DataExtensionField</ObjectType>
    <Properties>Name</Properties>
    <Properties>FieldType</Properties>
    <Filter xsi:type="SimpleFilterPart">
       <Property>DataExtension.CustomerKey</Property>
       <SimpleOperator>equals</SimpleOperator>
       <Value>ED91E930-1FBA-4C19-93F2-78B74842F60D</Value>
    </Filter>
 </RetrieveRequest></RetrieveRequestMsg></soapenv:Body>

Check this link for more properties you can retrieve for DataExtensionField Object

    Hi Bobio7, Thanks, this is where I think I was going wrong, I have applied the code that you have provided & this has successfully made the call.
