Overview - Webex XML API

Webex XML API General Session Service

Important

The Meetings-related XML APIs will be deprecated and the End-of-Support (EoS) date is planned for the second half of 2023. Cisco will continue to resolve bugs up to this date, but new features will only be implemented for the REST APIs suite. The End-of-life (EoL) timeframe for Meetings-related XML APIs is targeted for March 31, 2024, at which time the APIs will be retired. For information on how to migrate from XML to REST APIs, please see Webex Meetings XML to REST Migration Guide. User management APIs such as CreateUser, SetUser, DelUser, etc. are NOT affected by this EOL announcement.

The functionality and API calls in the General session service are available to other API services. Some of these API calls can provide functionality for several services at once. Other API calls simply do not fit clearly into any of the main services.

This chapter contains sample XML documents that show example request messages and example responses from the server. The API calls available as part of the General Session service are listed below. You can see the elements that constitute the respective XML schema in a separate section below.
