This is a discussion and working group for anyone interested in the Services module and related modules. This module was created out of a need for a standardized solution of integrating external applications with Drupal, specifically Flash and Flex applications. Visit the issues page for all bug reports. Also visit the Services Handbook for information and examples.
Argument list for remote calls using API key in call
Regarding Services v. 1.3.2.12 (from tag at head of services.module, not sure which version of whole module I'm on).
Read moredrupalAMFPHP ActionScript Class
I recently wrote this AS3 Class for interacting with drupal from Flex using the AMFPHP and Services module. Not sure if this has been done already or if this code will be useful but I am releasing it into the Public Domain. Hopefully it could be expanded on by someone with more time to make it a full featured class.
I have got it working with the following setup: Drupal 5.11, AMFPHP 1.9 Beta 2, Services Module 5.x-0.91, Views Module 5.x-1.6. I am using Flex Builder 3 and AS3.
Save Flash Image Data to Drupal Video Tutorial
Hey everyone, I just made a video tutorial with code examples available at http://blip.tv/file/1399795 on how to get flash image data into Drupal.
Part two will demonstrate how to save a node with the image data associated with it. Feedback is of course welcomed as there may be some things people may have better ideas about how to approach.

I would like feedback and recommendations on researching how Drupal generates unique keys for a new Drupal installation and how OpenID utilizes the keys when validating a new user Session for a valid user account.
Subjects Involved
1) Building a multi-site deployment system that will create new Drupal multi-sites using database replication.
2) Each site requires integration with an OpenID server and authentication of local users accounts to OpenID.

I am relatively new to Drupal.
I have a website that I am trying to build that synchronizes, or at least pulls data out of, another database.
Read moreAuthentication
Hi everyone,
Having fun here working with services and amfphp in order to serve content to both flash and non-flash parts of an upcoming site. Glad to be part of the group to see if I can get help or add help!
I have a conceptual issue with authenticating against the service modules using the system.connect and user.login methods. Unfortunately many of the tutorials explicitly turn off authentication keys at the beginning, so there are not as many examples of this approach.
Read moreI'm having problems with saving cck fields via as2 and the xmlrpc service
Hi there, I'm still having fun with services, as2 and node.save, I moved on from initial experiment with swx to using the xmlrpc service, which initially seemed really easy due to some great posts including this one by d0ublej0's http://drupal.org/node/82114#comment-263405 . Everything is working nicely until I try and add content to a CCK field, i think this post http://drupal.org/node/256074 describes correct structure, but i'm unsure on how to create this structure using the mattism as2 xmlrpc classes.

For those who don't know, LA Drupal has been posting our meeting videos over at http://drupal-la.blip.tv and you can totally check out almost the entire meetings you missed or want to see over again. Tonight we are proud to announce Scott Nelson's four part recording from our May 2008 meeting. Scott covered the Services module, and the AMFPHP module for hooking up Ajax, XML-RPC, JSON, and Flex/Flash to Drupal.
Read moreServices and CCK ImageField
Futher to this issue: http://drupal.org/node/290053
I have a node import solution that imports from a specific XML format and I am looking at moving this to using the services module (rather than executing within a bootstrapped drupal environment and using drupal_execute). The XML files reference images that are attached to the created nodes using ImageField.
I've been looking through various implementations of services, and I wondered if anyone had good advice as to how to implement support for imagefields as part of node.save?
Read moreAMFPHP arrays to Flash
Hello Drupalistas!
I have Flash consuming AMFPHP services from Drupal. Now I want to build a "mixed" content type and serve that through AMF as well. So I added a CCK "image_field" to the "Page" content type. Now I have an image associated with every "page". This is fine and good, and my services browser shows this:
[log] =>
[format] => 1
[uid] => 1
[name] => admin
[picture] =>
[data] => a:0:{}
[field_image] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[fid] => 1
[title] => image1.jpg
[alt] => image1.jpg
[nid] => 1
[filename] => image1.jpg
[filepath] => files/image1.jpg
[filemime] => image/jpeg
[filesize] => 46444

Dash Media Player: A media player built for Drupal CMS
Hello everyone,
I just recently developed the Dash Media Player which uses Services to extract data from Drupal. It is really a nice fit to build a media player that takes advantage of the Drupal Services. This way, you can build a playlist using the Views module and load any video that is connected to any node in the system.
Please let me know what you guys think.
Read morenode save using as2 and swx
Ello,
I've just posted some swx as2 code http://drupal.org/node/289428#comment-1007620 as i'm having some issues with saving nodes via swx. I thought post a link here too as i'm still kind of green with services in drupal so my issue might not be with the swx module and just my logic in how the node save service works.
Read morehow to pass arguments to views.getview?
Hello,
I've successfuly got flash as3 and Drupal talking, but I need to pass arguments to views.getview so that I can cut down on the amount of data transfered.
I'm using the following to connect, modified from the AMFPHP "hello world" example:
package {
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.Responder;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.events.Event;
public class ConnectToDrupal extends EventDispatcher{

Read more Best way to parse XML for Drupal site to Drupal site communications with services module
I am using the services module to setup a web service on one Drupal site and then have another Drupal site pull in the resultant xml data formatted for display. I am specifically using views.getView from the Services module xml-rpc server. It works great so far, but now I am wondering the best method for parsing the XML on the client end Drupal site.
Should I just use simplexml included with PHP and create a node with the PHP parsing code. Seems like there is a need for an XML-RPC client module, but I haven't found an existing project.
Read moreRelativity on Nodes created via node.save
Can node relativity be utilised on nodes created via node.save in Flash? I have been trying to look for an easy solution to work this out but have been a bit stumped.
I believe, looking at the args when you add a child node to a parent ("/node/add/CONTENTTYPE/parent/PARENTNID") you'd need to have the url available?! Is there anything I can do here? Would I need to write a custom service in PHP that utilise node relativity functionality and tie it in with the node.save service via Flash?
Looking forward to getting some help :)
Read moreServices D6
Guys,
Scott Nelson (snelson) included me as one of the maintainers last friday and im glad to announce a new version of Services module for D6 (in fact, i released 2 versions today). The 6.x 0.11 contains several bugs fixed, a new security fix and some nice and long waited features:
* user.get service
* user.save service
* user.delete service
* file.get service
* file.getNodeFiles service
* menu.get service
* Several services were renamed for consistency, including node.load service to node.get
* node and user services now have a very granular permissions
