  • 1.  How to call Backend API as SOAP using Open API 3.0

    Posted Sun February 01, 2026 03:56 AM

    I need to create a REST API and the Backend as a SOAP API, by the way, I created the Swagger first for this API

    Without having all requirements, just decouple and use map policy/gwscript policy together with invoke

    Hi there @Abdelazim Elkhole..

    Agreeing with the good @Jeroen Willems. We have a few ones running like this (not production, but testing, and it works).. (API Connect v10.8). Simple assembly flow if you want to use the build in features:

    1. A gatewayscript to do some JSON transformation of the input to the service
    2. JSON to XML Policy 
    3. XSLT transform to convert XML to a SOAP envelope
    4. invoke to call the backend

    Then in reverse as needed on the result..

    If it is a simple SOAP request, then you could opt for just creating the soap envelope in a gatewayscript and then have the invoke after that.. 

    As the good @Jeroen Willems states (indirectly, he he), that depends on your requirements.

    Br,
    Jesper

    Hello,

    Can you not create a target service in the gateway tab when developing your API? You will have to provide the SOAP API's WSDL.

    Kind regards,
