View source for OpenLDBWS SOAP Query Raw

Sending a SOAP query manually isn't useful in a production environment, but can be very useful in a development context.  You're able to check that your token is valid, and see the raw response that the server returns.

== Using Postman ==

[http://www.getpostman.com Postman] is an extension for [http://www.google.com/chrome/ Google Chrome] which allows manual interaction with a variety of APIs.

To use the OpenLDBWS API with Postman, send the following raw data in XML (text/xml) format as a POST (not a GET) query to the endpoint at https://lite.realtime.nationalrail.co.uk/OpenLDBWS/ldb6.asmx:

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://thalesgroup.com/RTTI/2014-02-20/ldb/" xmlns:ns2="http://thalesgroup.com/RTTI/2010-11-01/ldb/commontypes">
  <SOAP-ENV:Header>
    <ns2:AccessToken>
      <ns2:TokenValue>*** YOUR TOKEN GOES HERE ***</ns2:TokenValue>
    </ns2:AccessToken>
  </SOAP-ENV:Header>

      <ns1:crs>MAN</ns1:crs>
    </ns1:GetDepartureBoardRequest>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
</pre>
