    WebStamp web service: SOAP

    1 Introduction

    The Web service WebStamp allows you to fully integrate WebStamp into another application. The interface is available in the variant: SOAP.

    1.1 SOAP specification

    Detailed descriptions of each SOAP method, such as field data type, can be found in the WSWL and are not repeated in this document

    1.2 Definition of terms

    Term Description
    Customer A customer is a user of the WebStamp online service via the WebStamp web service or Webstamp light interfaces. The customer must be registered with Swiss Post in order to use WebStamp
    Integrator, platform provider A company, organization or person who has connected WebStamp to their own platform using WebStamp web service or Webstamp light.
    Application ID, provider number Each application identifies itself to WebStamp with a unique key:
    WebStamp web service access uses the application ID
    Customer Centre Log-in Various online services are grouped under the Swiss Post “Customer Center” and can be accessed with a single
    username and password.
    Only one centralized registration is required for the Swiss Post “Customer Center”, and this also allows you to use
    “WebStamp”.
    WS Abbreviations for “WebStamp”
    WSWS Abbreviations for “WebStamp web service”

    2 General

    2.1 Encoding

    The character coding for SOAP communication is always UTF-8.

    2.2 Versions

    The interface is available in a range of versions. This allows for better delimitation of existing and older interface versions as the product is developed. Over time, older versions will be discontinued by Swiss Post following prior notification of the end date.

    Please ask for exact details of the versions when managing the WebStamp application.

    The respective version numbers of the data fields are indicated in the tables. If there is no version number, they apply to all versions. Where a version number is specified, it applies to the specified version and all subsequent versions. If multiple versions are specified, the data field applies to the specified versions only.

    Attempting to call a version that is no longer valid returns HTTP status code 410.

    2.3 Currently available versions

    Version Description
    V6
    • Current and maintained version.
    V5
    • Available previous version. We recommend migrating to the latest version.

    2.4 Adjustments when changing versions

    • Each time you update to a newer version, the URL must be adapted to the new version (see 2.7 Access data). New functions offered as a part of an audit can be activated by updating the WSDL.

     

    If the adjustment is not marked as mandatory, it provides additional functionality but is not necessarily required.

    2.5 Detailed description

    Default values are shown in italics in property lists

    2.6 WebStamp server

    Two independent infrastructures are available for the connection.

    Infrastructure Description
    https://wsredesignint1.post.chTarget not accessible Continuously expanded test environment for new releases of WebStamp.
    https://wsredesignint2.post.chTarget not accessible Stable test environment for new integrators or for test systems (production release level). This is the preferred platform for integrators.
    https://webstamp.post.ch/Target not accessible Productive system

    2.7 Access data

    The interface can be accessed using the following URL:

    V6

    <WebStamp Server>/wsws/soap/v6

    Identification with WS customer ID / web service password

    V5

    <WebStamp Server>/wsws/soap/v5

    Identification with WS customer ID / WSWS-Passwort

    2.7.1 Application identification

    An application ID is required for access by each application you want to connect to. This is assigned by Swiss Post.

    2.7.2 User ID

    The user must also be authenticated with a customer ID / WSWS-Passwort. The WS customer ID can be found on the WebStamp homepage under WebStamp Settings / WebStamp web service. This page can also be used to store the WSWS password.

    The identification using WS customer ID and WSB password must be transmitted with each request (except for the Options interface).

    Please note

    For an order (request), the following three attributes must be transferred to WebStamp:

    • Application ID
    • WS customer ID
    • WSWS password

    2.7.3 Signed connection

    In special cases, access can be implemented using signatures. In this case, Swiss Post issues a certificate to the integrator, which must be used to sign the connection (TLS) to WebStamp WebService.

    When using signed access, WebStamp only allows calls with a valid signature. Invalid or unknown signatures are rejected.

    For the connection, the host name for the WebStamp server is preceded by “cert.”. The following is an example of a signed call from a command line:

    curl https://cert.webstamp.post.ch/wsws/soap/v6Target not accessible
    --cert certificate.pem:”*******”
    --data @soap-request.xml

    Please note

    The default method is identification of the user with WS customer ID and WSWS password without signing. Implementation with signing must always be agreed in advance with those responsible.

    If this method of identification is chosen, the system can be set so that the WSWS password does not have to be transmitted.

    3 Authentication

    Each request to WebStamp must contain an identification container, which is used to authenticate the user.

    The customer ID and WSWS password must be used to verify the user’s identity. 

    3.1 wsws_identification

    Name Data type Description
    application string Identification hash of the calling application.
    language token Two-character language code. Determines the response language of the interface when texts are returned.
    Possible values:
    - de
    - fr
    - it
    - en
    [userid] string WS customer ID.
    [password] string WSWS password.
    [encryption_type] token Encryption of the WSWS-Passwort: md5 or sha1. If encryption_type is left empty or the attribute is not available,
    the WSWS-Passwort is transmitted as plain text.
    - md5
    - sha1
    - (Empty)
    Empty or attribute hash type not available (WSWS-Passwort is transmitted in plain text)

    4 Options

    The Options interface returns all supported product information and its configuration. This makes it easy to integrate new WebStamp products into a third party application and to query changes to products (e.g. price changes). If the products are not kept up to date, problems can arise when products are changed (for example a message to the customer that a requested product is no longer available).

    Unless otherwise noted, all functions in the Options interface can also be queried without a username and WSWS-Passwort. The application ID /provider number are sufficient.

    4.1 wsws_category

    Swiss Post products are grouped into product categories (e.g. domestic letters). The object wsws_category displays a product category with the relevant details.

    identification wsws_identification Identification object.
    [timestamp] dateTime Time of validity of the requested data. This can be used for example to query data in the future.
    • [type]
    • int
    • Restriction of the print media to one media type. The number of the media type is queried using the get_media_types method.

    Parameters

    Return
    Name Level Description
    countries array Array with wsws_country objects.

    7.1.7 get_licenses

    Business customers can now specify a personal franking licence for certain products. Franking licences allow the customer to order certain additional products, and are also used for billing the order. Each franking licence can be used for one product type only.
    It is not possible for the integrator to make this distinction – customers must select the appropriate franking licence themselves. Alternatively, a product number (type: post_product_number) can be specified in the franking licence query to limit the selection of licences. Theoretically, a customer’s franking licences can change with every order, so they should be stored with care.

    Parameters
    Name Data type Description
    identification wsws_identification Identification object.
    [post_product_number] int Internal Swiss Post product number (level number)
    Return
    Name Level Description
    licenses array Array with wsws_license objects.

    7.1.8 get_product_lists

    Returns the various product ranges. The product ranges are divided into two main categories in WebStamp: “pk” (private customers – pc) and “gk”(business customers – bc), and there are further subdivisions in each category. A customer can be assigned to multiple product ranges, but only to one main category (pc or bc). By specifying customer_type, you can query the product ranges relevant for your users. If the parameter is transmitted empty, all product ranges are returned.

    If a valid user login is specified in the identification object, customer_type is ignored and the product ranges assigned to the customer are returned instead. Queried product range numbers can be included with get_products to limit the product query by range(s).

    All queries are limited to currently valid product ranges.

    Parameters
    Name Data type Description
    identification wsws_identification Identification object.
    [customer_type] token Customer type of the product range. (bc = business customers, pc = private customers)
    Return
    Name Level Description
    product_lists array Array with wsws_product_list objects

    7.1.9 get_customer_data

    Provides basic information about a customer’s billing method and product ranges. This data is not confidential, so no customer password is required.

    Parameters

    identification wsws_identification Identification object. Here, the WS customer ID is mandatory, but the WSWS password is optional.
    Return
    Name Level Description
    customer_data wsws_customer_data Customer data object.

    7.2 Order

    Messages of the type «confirm» contain important information and must be confirmed by the customer within a specified period (for example new General Terms and Conditions). If the deadline expires, the customer cannot place any further orders until the message is confirmed. The integrator must be capable of handling this functionality.
