Hello,

Still learning about Drupal... :)

Let's say I create a new Content Type called ProductsContentType. Is it possible to add data/records to it by using a Web Service or are we forced to use web based admin control panels?

I'd like to publish my clients Products data to the web in bulk.

Thanks,
N

see the http://drupal.org/project/feedapi module.

hi,

Does that read data from the web and turn it into a feed to present in a summary or does that allow us to send data to it and populate the ContentType with data?

I'd like to send data, not read it. Cheers...

I'm not sure I understand you then... "Is it possible to add data/records to it by using a Web Service" implies consuming information into drupal, not sending info out of drupal.

In any case, the link i provided above explains what it does pretty thoroughly.

To go the other way check out the http://drupal.org/project/services module.

There's also the core aggregator module which simply grabs rss feeds and presents them as blocks with links back to the original source.

sorry, my fault then... I do want to send data into Drupal. I want to populate the ContentTypes with data.

From looking at the Feed API, I thought it read data that was already in Drupal... my mistake...

I will have another look...

Thanks for your help...
