Webex XML API header based authentication

Hello,

I'm trying to get up to speed on authentication with Webex's XML API.

I see the XML API docmentation here:

https://developer.cisco.com/site/webex-developer/develop-test/xml-api/reference/

I also see their code example here:

Cisco DevNet: WebEx Conferencing - XML API - Sample Code

In each example, the credentials are baked into the XML body of each HTTP request. Is that the only option? Are HTTP Basic, Oath2 or any kind of header-based authentication supported?

Thank you in advance!

Chris

Hello,

XML API authentication is handled via username/password in the request itself. SAML authentication is also possible, retrieving a session ticket that can be used instead of password, but would still be included in the XML request.

Hi nmorrow,

By any chance, do you have a link to the XML API's WSDL? I can't seem to find in the documentation.
