Converting from V1 to V2 and the differences between them
Converting
V2 simply contains more functionality and fields over V1 and one other slight, but important difference: the main id parameter to all the functions has changed as follows
| Name | Type | Required | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| from | id | integer | Optional | The ID number of a sale ad. This can be used to retrieve data for just one ad. |
| to | ad_ids | integer array | Optional | The ID numbers of some sale ads. This can be used to retrieve data for one or more ads. |
So, in order to successfully convert your code to use V2, you need to change the name of your id parameter from 'id' to 'ad_ids' and wrap this in an array. This now gives the option to request more than one specific property at a time.
Additionally, as stated on the documentation
homepage, you'll need to change the WSDL declaration you
use to https://api.daft.ie/v2/wsdl.xml .
Differences
As stated, besides the difference mentioned above, the only changes are extra functions and extra fields for existing functions.
