SOAP Request Format

SOAP requests are "envelopes" of specially formatted XML data posted to a URL. You can find out more about SOAP atwww.w3.org/TR/soap/.

The SOAP Server Endpoint URL is https://www.flickr.com/services/soap/

To request the flickr.test.echo service, send an envelope like this:

<s:Envelopexmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"><s:Body><x:FlickrRequest xmlns:x="urn:flickr"><method>flickr.test.echo</method><name>value</name></x:FlickrRequest></s:Body></s:Envelope>

The first element inside the bodymust be a FlickrRequest element. Each request parameter should be a single child element of the FlickrRequest element. The name of the element is the name of the parameter and it's contents are the value.

By default, SOAP requests will send aSOAP response.
