OK, thanks. Going back to the drawing board with renewed vigor!

Actually, moving to REST requires you to change your head around from a procedural point of view to one dealing in objects and operations, so it won't be a direct mapping of SOAP t…

No, not trolling. The vast majority of API providers do provide libraries (of course, none of them "force" you to use them, and nor will we), and this is considered good practice i…
