Example XML for post to API

I've got the API doc and have been reveiwing it, but still dont seem to be able to find an example of posting a lead like we're doing the WebToLead.  Right now we are doing an http post to the WebToLead page, but for some reason we're losing some posts.  I would like to post XML to the API, but I've not been able to find an example of the XML structure needed to submit a lead.  Is this setup somehow like the post the WebToLead?  I would SINCERELY appreciate any help!

Thanks!

HI ashannon,

To "post" a lead I think you are saying you want to create a new lead, correct?  If that is the case you would use and insert call.  There are samples of the insert call available on the website.

Thanks Dave.  That's exactly what I mean.  Can you tell me where this is?  I have not been able to find it.

I appreciate your help.

What is you development environment?  We have sample messages in the documentation and sample code here http://www.sforce.com/us/resources/code.jsp.

I am developing in ColdFusion so i'll see if I can take one of these samples and work with it.  If anyone has a sample in ColdFusion I sure would like to take a look.  Thanks for your help DevAngel.

Hi ashannon,

I believe cold fusion can use the Axis libraries for SOAP development.  There are a few sforce developers who are using cold fusion.  Check the boards to see if there is any info.

It looks like they're a good amount of people posting for info using coldfusion, but no replies of anything useful.  I'll continue to seach.

Thanks again.

I would love to see something as well. There are a lot of CF sites out there and if SF could come up with some example code to do good implementations I think there would be a lot of potential users.

Thanks
