I have sample code to call a web service using an xml document from a Natural module. But is it possible to do the same thing for a service that only exposes a RESTful API? Thanks. ---

I am not sure that it matters if the web service is SOAP or RESTful. The Natural functionality uses an HTTP POST to call it so either one should work. Not that I have tried it as we’re using EntireX to SOAP-enable Natural. ---
