Web service authentication
The web service implements HTTP Basic Authentication for API access authorization
Authentication mechanism
HTTP Basic Authentication is a standard protocol that enables HTTP user agents (such as web browsers) to transmit user credentials when sending requests to the server. The Credentials node of the calls, previously used to authenticate, is deprecated. Credentials should not be used to enter authentication credentials.
Request format
HTTP requests must include an authorization header structured as follows:
Authorization: Basic <credentials>
where <credentials> represents the Base64-encoded string consisting of the username and password separated by a colon (:).
Credential management
Access credentials can be obtained through two methods:
Direct provisioning: issued by the MBE Center
Self-service generation: created directly via the MBE Online platform (if allowed by the Center)
Service availability
The webservice is accesible in the following countries: Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
WSDL address structure
The Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) endpoint is structured as follows:
https://api.mbeonline.XX/ws/e-link.wsdl
To connect to the service for a specific country, set "location" of the client SOAP to https://api.mbeonline.XX/ws.
Replace XX with the corresponding two-letter country code (hr, fr, de, it, pl, pt, es, uk).
InternalReferenceID parameter
The InternalReferenceID parameter is s a unique identifier that plays a crucial role in API operations. Beyond simply correlating requests and responses, this parameter is essential for troubleshooting and support activities, also helping to mantain a clear audit trail for monitoring purposes.
Units of measure
All weight measurements must be specified in kilograms (kg).
All dimensional measurements must be specified in centimeters (cm).
