SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a protocol for exchanging structured information using XML. Unlike REST, SOAP requests require a strict envelope structure and often rely on predefined contracts (WSDL).
You can also import SOAP requests directly using the WSDL. See the import guide to get started.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
  <soap:Body>
    <tns:Add>
      <tns:intA>{{intA}}</tns:intA>
      <tns:intB>{{intB}}</tns:intB>
    </tns:Add>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Your request must include the required SOAP structure such as Envelope and Body, along with proper namespaces.
