How Qualtrics understands the response - web-services

I have implemented a web-service in qualtrics after a question block and the job is to do an operation and send a response back to my website after the survey.I don't know how qualtrics record these responses. Is there any logs section in qualtrics where we can see these responses? Can we deal with the responses in the qualtrics login?

If I'm understanding correctly, you're asking how responses are recorded in Qualtrics WebServices.
When a response comes in, Qualtrics parses the response as embedded data fields. Please note that the response has to be in json or xml encoding for Qualtrics to be able to properly parse it. When you test a webservice it gives you the option to set embedded data based on the response that comes back during testing.

Qualtrics automatically parses your response and assigns it to each parameter.
Either way work. (I didn't test in xml but, I assume it would work as well)
q1=answer1&q2=answer2&...
in JSON {"q1":"answer1", "q2":"answer2", ...)

How do I send an HTTP post request with headers and json data through a proxy with WinHTTP (C++)

I am attempting to send a post request like the one described in the title, but I cannot seem to find a good example of a generic piece of code. My work on my project is a bit tedious as I have never used WinHTTP, only libcurl before which is why I decided to ask here. To reiterate, the http request is a post request with specific header values and json data in the request body which is sent through a proxy to a website using winHTTP. If anyone could provide me with assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.

Receiving unstructured data with Business Central web service/api?

I want to expose an endpoint in Business Central which can receive HTTP POST/PUT request and save content of that request into Blob, without any validation. I need that so I can receive json or xml data from external custom services.
I'm not sure how to achieve that since both OData and SOAP expect data to be in specific format and trigger data validation before I can even access POST-ed data.
I've been trying to play with Bound/Unbound actions but still can't figure out a way to access the content of the request. WebServiceActionContext is not well documented and I have not idea what I can or can't do with it. More about that: Microsoft documentation, Tutorial.
Any idea how to read content of a HTTP POST/PUT request is appreciated!
You could create a codeunit with a global procedure and then publish that as your web service.
Something like this:
codeunit 50000 MyUnstructuredWebService
{
procedure PostUnstructuredData(RequestId: Text; RequestContent: BigText);
begin
end;
}
Then you can handle the data directly or save it to a BLOB field in a table for later use.
The trick is to use BigText as the datatype for the parameter containing your actual content.

Issue connecting SOAP through Postman

I’m stuck with trying to connect to my SOAP API. The goal is to retrieve a quote via the “Getquote” function which is available in our webservice and use that quote in an application in Bubble.is. Therefore, I want to make it work through form-data so I can reuse the keys and values in Bubble. I get a succesfull quote through the raw method. See picture
Raw method:
You can see that all my fields are in the body so with the form-data method I put all the individual fields in key and value but I get the error message you see below.
Form data method:
Can someone see what I'm doing wrong? Excuses me for I am just starting. There might be some beginner mistakes in there. Thanks for the help!
SOAP encodes messages by using XML. Form data uses a completely different encoding, which the SOAP server doesn't understand, hence the error.
Although I've never used it, there is a Chrome extension called Boomerang that supports SOAP requests, and which may suit you better.

How do I make a ColdFusion Web Service return SOAP instead of WDDX?

I've created a ColdFusion Web Service, but it's returning WDDX instead of SOAP. How do I make it return SOAP instead of WDDX?
Have the <cffunction> return an XML object, and have the "returnformat" parameter be set to "plain".
<cffunction name="GetData" returntype="xml" returnformat="plain">
For complex objects, you need to setup the CFCs correctly. Read: Using ColdFusion components to define data types for web services
update: Or, you can create the XML representation of your object yourself with <cfxml>, then return the XML object with returnType="xml" in cffunction.
You may check out coldbox's XMLConverter Plugin as code sample for converting built-in CF complex types into XML.
A CFC method with access=remote ought to return soap, rather than WDDX. I'm sure I've used this functionality for years. What I'm suspecting may be happening is that the content-type is based on the request a client makes. I would download Soap-UI and test http://your.server/yourCFC.cfc?wsdl to see whether SOAP-UI gets WDDX thrown back at it. If is does, I'm at a bit of a loss, but do report it here anyway and I'll take a further look.
If Soap-UI sees a proper response, take a look at the headers it's sending and compare them to the request you're making (possibly through the browser?)
You can also use Fiddler to record soap-ui traffic and compare that against any other source of requests.
The http request thing above may be completely off, but it's relatively easy to check and I think it's ringing a bell.
You may also want to check the return type of the function you're writing. In order for CF to generate a good WSDL, it needs to be able to extract metadata from the CFC you're returning.
A bit late to the game but were you hitting it as a plain HTTP request and not as with a SOAP packet?
For example were you doing this:
http://api.example.com/something.cfc?method=test&arg1=val1
instead of an actual SOAP request with envelope, headers, body, etc?
The HTTP request returns WDDX by default or JSON by specifying the returnformat, while a SOAP request will return data in the format you are seeking.

SOAPUI client Testing webService

I am using SoapUI to test the web service. In that I can able to format one request and get the response back.
now My requirement is I need to prepare a file(not sure about the format) and I have to send 50 to 100 different requests at a time from the soapUI client and get the response back.
Colud any one help me out in this?
You can use datasource to load the input for which you want to get back response and then loop it using datasource loop step
More info : http://www.soapui.org/Data-Driven-Testing/datasources.html
Not sure if this what you are looking for.
