wlapi 404 error

Hey I install your gem and the end point on the leipzig corpus page is resulting in a 404 error. Any idea why? I was wondering if that could have be something with the Rest API.

Hi @janz93 ,

the endpoint is rather instable so it's a possible explanation. Could you post the whole error trace?

Sure the soap endpoint which is used the api class is returning a 404 result.

So, that's easy :) They moved the endpoint. I'll investigate that now.

Apr 19 '17 14:04 arbox

I figured :) Let me know what comes up. Also I was wondering what is with the rest api? OR you planning on using that too?

Apr 19 '17 14:04 janz93

I'm planning to completely rewrite the client to use the restful API since the old SOAP backend will be shut down. I've just emailed the devs in Leipzig to get more insights about that.

The problem for now is that the old services are not online and the new ones are not complete.

Feel free to use the REST endpoint meanwhile.

Okay I see. Would it be useful to integrate the rest api endpoint into your gem or are you planning on using the new soap endpoint when it will be finished?

Apr 19 '17 16:04 janz93

I think we should integrate the new RESTful API and map it onto the old methods if possible.
