vtiger CRM Web Services
October 23rd, 2008 by Prasad
The latest update of vtiger CRM 5.1 introduced new support for Web Services.
The vtiger CRM Web Services API provides a well-defined API for development of new plugins and integration of third-party applications. This will ease development of applications/plugins around vtiger CRM and simplify integration with external applications as well.
We have provided a web services client library and a complete sample application to help with development of web services client applications.
vtwsclib - Web Services Client Library
vtwsclib (vtiger CRM Web Services Client Library) provides wrapper classes for PHP, Javascript, and Python, to use vtiger CRM web services. Using this library you can write new applications that integrate with vtiger CRM.
Project URL: http://forge.vtiger.com/projects/vtwsclib/
Download URL: http://forge.vtiger.com/frs/?group_id=181&release_id=459
Included is the sample application described below.
vtclient - Sample Web Services Client Application
vtclient is a simple vtiger CRM client suitable for mobile devices and other web devices that require simple HTML user interfaces. It is a
sample web services client application written using the PHP client library provided by vtwsclib.
Check out the demo application vtclient here: http://74.201.117.171/vtiger/demo/vtclient/
Please try the web services client library and let us know your feedback.

Excellent, thank you also for the example. We will need some time to explore all the new possibilities you opened with this enhancement.

test portal looks like closed for testing
is there way to integrate this feature temporary in v.5.0.4 untill v 5.1.0 will come to let start using and develope web interfaces to this service?
Hi Vadim,
Integrating web services feature with 5.0.4 will take more effort as it uses some of the enhanced API’s added for 5.1 and has schema changes.
As web services is under development it would be good to test against v5.1 latest source available at
http://trac.vtiger.com/svn/vtiger/vtigercrm/branches/5.1

Is there way (I did not find) how to:
1. attach file to the document
2. link the document to the Purchase Order of other object
via web service?
This actions highly required to have more flexibility for web service and business demand.

Hi Vadim,
Currently both file upload and many to many relationships are not supported through webservices, but be assured that we are working to get as many features in as possible before release.
