Before we build our first integration, let's get acquainted with the APIs we are going to use in this first service. As shown in the preceding diagram our inbound call is a SOAP request and therefore we need a WSDL definition which defines the inbound API. Our outbound call is a REST request to a service we host on apiary (https://apiary.io) and uses the API Blueprint standard (https://apiblueprint.org) to define the REST API.
Let's start with the inbound or source definition as shown in the following screenshot. The WSDL has one operation which uses an input, output, and a fault message:
