Adding Filters to Magento Web Services API

I am trying to call the Magento SOAP API and get a list of orders within a certain time period. I can connect to API and get a list of all the orders just fine but I can't (for the life of me) figure ou开发者_JAVA技巧t how to filter the results... Any ideas? My Code that return all the orders is below...

$proxy = new SoapClient('http://lalala.freelunchlabs.com/api/v2_soap/?wsdl');

// create authorized session id using api user name and api key
$sessionId = $proxy->login('myusername', 'mypassword');

$filters = array(
    'created_at' => array( '>' => '2011-04-21 02:13:00'),
    'created_at' => array( '<' => '2011-04-21 02:22:00')
);

 // Get order list
$orderinfo = $proxy->salesOrderList($sessionId,array($filters));

print_r($orderinfo);

Thanks in advance!

I got no experience with the Magento SOAP 2 Api, but if the filters in V2 work the same way as with V1, you could try this:

$filters = array(
    'created_at' => array(
        'from' => '2011-04-21 02:13:00',
        'to' => '2011-04-21 02:22:00'
    )
);

In v2 of the Magento API you need to adjust your 'filters' array like so:

$params = array('complex_filter'=>
    array(
        array('key'=>'created_at','value'=>array('key' =>'from','value' => '2012-07-05 01:01:01'))
    )
);

While their API shows an example of the API v2 here:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/5_-_modules_and_development/0_-_module_development_in_magento/introduction#api_version_v2

this documentation doesn't indicate (as far as I can tell) that you need to replace 'filter' with 'complex_filter' when using conditional statements.

For example, you could replace

'key'=>'from"

with

'key'=>'to'

or

'key'=>'eq'

A more complete list of conditionals that you can use is here:

I think it's unfortunate that only PHP code is shown here. One of the benefits of using SOAP and web services in general is language/implementation independence.

In order to steer others in the right direction I'm providing the XML that works for me. Whatever language you're using to make your SOAP calls, the following XML format in your request should work.

For example, using Java and Apache Axis 2, this is the contents of my SOAPEnvelope object. Get a list of all orders with status 'processing':

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soapenv:Body>
        <salesOrderList xmlns="urn:Magento">
            <sessionId xmlns="">12345asdf</sessionId>
            <filters xmlns="">
                <filter>
                    <associativeEntity>
                        <key>status</key>
                        <value>processing</value>
                    </associativeEntity>
                </filter>
            </filters>
        </salesOrderList>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Note, this is the SOAP v2 format for Magento.

I used this and it worked in SOAP API v2:

$params = array('complex_filter'=>
    array(
        array('key'=>'created_at','value'=>array('key' =>'from','value' => '2013-05-03 01:01:01')),
        array('key'=>'customer_id','value'=>array('key' =>'eq','value' => 3)),

    ),

);
