Access VIA SoapUI and other SOAP tools

smsinc123 — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 19:55:57 GMT

I have been tasked with interegrating the web services provided by Authorize.net into our current application. As part of starting this process, I am attempting to create a project in SoapUI 5.4.0, but when I point it to the site https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd, I get the following error.

WSDLException (at /xs:schema): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL: Expected element '{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/}definitions'.

I have also had issues with accessing the WSDL using other tools.

Can anyone provide any suggestion as to how I can access the WSDL using SoapUI 5.4.0?

Thank you

Hello @smsinc123

SOAP is deprecated and we do not recommend creating new integrations. See our Upgrade Guide for more details:

Open SoapUI.

Go to File > New SOAP Project.

Enter a Project Name.

In the Initial WSDL field, paste the full WSDL URL (must end with ?wsdl).

Click OK.

SoapUI will load the WSDL and generate the request structure automatically.
