Connecting to Fishbowl Inventory

A popular application https://www.fishbowlinventory.com/ has an API,   but it's not clear how it could work with Talend. They supply some sample code that shows it is a raw socket that basically starts with a Big Endian 32 bit number which denotes the length , then has a stream of XML that size.  I looked thorough components and for example jobs and found nothing that looked applicable. Suggestions?

Hi Panometric,

 

In Talend we have tRestClient , tRest and tSOAP component in order to consume data through API's.

Could you please let us know they are using REST or SOAP API.

Ravi,

 

It is neither SOAP or REST, just a raw socket with XML prefixed by lengths. Authentication is done through XML. I know Talend can work with the XML OK, it's the raw socket I could not find a component for. I'm hoping not to have to write my own. Aren't there any components that already work like this?

Hello,

If you want to build a service, you should use tRESTRequest and tRESTResonse.

Best regards
