SOAP API - AddAsEvent

General
1

Hi, I just got to milestone integration. 100% new to Milestone integration. The software my company develops use the SOAP Api to send/receive information to/from Milestone XProtect.
We are are apparently not compatible with milestone 2025.
We have a very basic use. The login works and then our soft triggers an alarm and try to send it to milestone. We use the AddAsEvent service. Soft ni python with zeep for soap communication.
Then a Fault occurs Deprecated feature. I guess the AddAsEvent is deprecated but why is it still in the wsdl.
What should I use intead of this service.µ

For what I undestood reading the documentation, soap is not the recommended procotol and we should use the Rest API, is that it?
Is there information on SOAP compatibility / full depreciation??

Thx

You should use AddEvent instead.

There is a newer Rest API, and if you want to switch to using this please find it here.

Perhaps this overview mentioning more methods, older and newer, is helpful.

Thanks, that’s what I guessed.
I mlanage to use the Add service but it’s not the same.

I checked the AddEvent service but according to the SOAP API it take an Eventheader as parameter and I need to add other information such as a description, vendor, ….

I might need multiple services calls to populate the even with the information I need. I continue testing.

I see the issue, AddEvent takes a BaseEvent which does not include other information such as a description, vendor, ….
I think the best advise is the newer Rest API.
