Tim has prepared some [[http://www.weberp.org/uploads/ScreenShotUploads/xmlrpc.zip example scripts]] showing how a number of the API XML-RPC functions are called - these scripts can be put on a web-server outside a webERP installation - all you need to do is edit the config.inc file to give the system your webERP username and password and the URL of your webERP installation you wish to connect to.

I have had a go at an example xml-rpc client script to retrieve the stock quantities of an item using the [[http://web-erp.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/web-erp/webERP/doc/Manual/ManualAPIFunctions.php doc/Manual/ManualAPIFunctions.php]] as a template.

Simply put the XML_RPC call is XML that contains the method of the remote procedure call and any parameters and their data types and is sent over http as a POST to the XML-RPC server - the server returns an XML payload containing the results of the call.

Tim's API help which itself is produced by an xml-rpc call to the API using the system.listMethods method (I think this is a phpxmlrpc method - not a webERP API method) - he then uses another system xml-rpc method of phpxmlrpc class to return the details of each method's parameters required. So the help file not only documents each of the API methods it is itself and illustration of how the API can be used!!
