Alarm sending API via SOAP

I’m developing a plugin for Milestone XProtect using protocol integration.

I would like to know if services available at http://localhost:port/Central/AlarmServiceToken?wsdl (for Corporate edition) are a good way to proceed for an integration protocol regarding alarm sending event for a third party application ?

Is it a durable API as it is not specifically quoted in the Milestone SDK 2017 documentation ?

You could argue that the WSDL I found while browsing ‘[C:\Program](file:C:/Program) Files\Milestone\MIPSDK\WSDL’ folder is a documentation by itself. But as I said above, I did not found any reference to it in the documentation per se, so I was wandering if it was an old API still here for compatibility.

I’m aware of the integration protocol limitation compare to component integration as it is well explained in the documentation.

Thank you for your help.

I did find this previous post on the forum (https://developer.milestonesys.com/s/question/0D50O00003EIrkFSAT/alarm-details-through-protocol) - I was wrong about the ‘no reference in the documentation’ - but I want to be sure that this API will not be left behind in close future.

I am putting it on the wish-list that Documentation for the Alarm Command interface should be introduced / improved. Thank you for raising the issue.

If you have something outstanding that you cannot get done concerning this please do not hesitate to ask questions here in the developer forum.
