Basic Navigation Integration via Webservice / SOAP

End of Life

Please note: the SOAP interface will no longer be updated or upgraded. We recommend the REST-API for new customers. If you have been using the SOAP interface so far, you can go on using it. We do however recommend changing your integration interface to improve Performance.

The web service end point for the Navigation module can be found in the following WSDL:

$stringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml($body)

As when searching, to query the results, you need to use the getResult method.

In contrast to the search query, however, the Params object is populated differently. In order to tell FACT-Finder that your request is a Navigation request rather than a search query, you must pass a corresponding CustomParameter object. This has the name navigation and the value true.

Another difference to the Params object submitted for a search query is the lack of a search term, i.e. the query attribute is not set. If this attribute is passed, it is ignored.
