NickHocking NooB! How to use API??!
Hi All,
Apologies for the question, but I am totally lost on the API.
I've been here:
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_quickstart_steps.htm
ANd tried to follow the instructions, but get lost after generating my WSDL code.
1 - Where do i then import it to??!
2 - How do i then use it?
3 - I get that i need to write some java but where do i store this java and how?
4 - I'm trying to very simply export data from Harvest and import it into Salesforce, automatically, without human intervention. I don't think this sounds difficult, but I don't even know where to start. Harvest has an API available, but does the code i need to write sit with Harvest or SFDC. And where? How do i get Harvest to say "ok, a new project has been created, and these are the details" to SFDC, and then SFDC to just create that new project in SF.
I've created all the custom objects etc, in my SFDC org, but i just don't want to have a manual effort to export data from harvest and put it in SFDC.
Any help would be amazing.
Thanks,
Nick

If you wish to go down the code path, once you generate the WSDl - you can now use the methods available in the WSDL to update data in Salesforce.
You can write a Java code which assesses data from Harvest (using the Harvest APIs) and copy it to the Salesforce Objects(using Salesforce WSDL)
The following sample code is in .NET byt will give you an idea on how you can use the Salesforce Web service to update data in Salesforce:

You will always have the option to mass import data into Salesforce if you do not wish to code.
