This guide will explain how you can use SOAP UI Open Source software to run API calls to test the pymetrics Web Services APIs, showing you example API calls so you can view the outputs to expect.

If you are new to SOAP UI and SOAP APIs, then I recommend reading the following posts:

This is a brief guide if you are keen to learn how to test your WSDL endpoint using SOAP UI.

To start off with, what is WSDL?

What is WSDL?

WSDL is a "Web Service Definition Language" is an XML language for describing Web services. Specifically, it is defined by the industry body W3 - World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) organisation as the following:

Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) is an XML format for describing network services as a set of endpoints operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information. The operations and messages are described abstractly, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format to define an endpoint.
