Downloading WSDL Files

You can download WSDL files for the Web Services v1.0 and Web Services v2.0 APIs in either a Custom or Generic version, as follows:

• Downloading Custom WSDL. For Custom WSDL files, the XML tags for custom fields are based on the Integration tags configured in Field Setup. Custom WSDL files allow you to generate WSDL files that are specific to your company and which use your company's field naming conventions.
• Downloading Generic WSDL. For Generic WSDL files, custom fields are based on generic XML tags: CustomNumber0, CustomCurrency0, and so on. Using these placeholders, together with the Mapping Service or Field Management API allows applications to map the generic XML tags to the field names that your company uses.

For Web Services v1.0, and Web Services v2.0 objects you can also download Custom or Generic Schema files, as described in Downloading Schema Files.
