Help needed - SOAP to REST

Post by Bala@maxval » Fri Dec 27, 2013 1:26 pm

We are currently moving from SOAP to REST. Even though REST is very useful, we are running in to a few bumps and would appreciate any help in this.

example 1: We used to get publication numbers in SOAP but missing the REST - Publication number for corresponding patent number US6666666 details are not getting from REST http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... 666/biblio , but in SOAP request (http://ops.epo.org/soap-services/biblio-retrieval), we get details including Publication details by giving patent number

example 2: Bibliographic data including Application numbers are missing some of foreign patents whereas it is available in SOAP - http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... 666/biblio

Is there another way to get around this?

Dear user,

I am sorry, but I don't see the problem with your REST queries. They work fine, as far as I can see.

Kind regards,

OPS support
