The Management Service is a Soap 1.1 web service that uses "Transport" security.
With Soap, clients and services communicate using XML messages, and Transport security means they can only do it over SSL.
Soap services, like the Management Service, often use the Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) standard to explain to the world what input they require, and what data the client can expect in return.


The WSDL file for the Management Service is available at this Url:

https://services.companywebcast.com/management/2.0/managementservice.svc?wsdl

A WSDL file is not necessarily formatted to be easy to read by people, you would normally use it with tools in your IDE or platform that do know how to read such a file, and these can then help you (a lot) with a client implementation.

The Management Service exposes 7 basic methods:


Typically a client would call WebcastCreate to create a new Webcast, based on a Profile. A client would then use WebcastGet to retrieve the newly created Webcast, make changes to it, and then save it with WebcastSave.

A client has to authenticate against the Management Service by providing a username and password in every call. Requests for accounts can be sent to Lars.Jilesen@companywebcast.com. For testing purposes you can use the user "testuser" with password "0123456789".
