or

Example

Webservice returning JSON.

1. In the "url" field enter:
   
   Copy to clipboard

   http://luciash.eu/paypal_balance_conversion_in_json.php?amount_in=%amount_in%&currency_in=%currency_in%&currency_out=%currency_out%

2. In the "Type" dropdown leave "REST" selected.
3. In the "Parameters" textarea fill in the parameters as:
   
   Copy to clipboard

   %amount_in%
   %currency_in%
   %currency_out%

4. Click "Lookup" button.

Now you can test the parameters.
You should see 3 new fields appear where you can enter the values to test.
Enter:

1. amount_in: 2
2. currency_in: EUR
3. currency_out: USD

The returned data under the "Response Information" will be something like this:

Array
(
    [amount_out_formatted] => 2.49 
    [from_currency_code] => USD
    [exchange_rate_formatted] => 1.24567
)

When tested you can save the Webservice under a name, e.g. paypalexchangerate (cannot contain anything else than letters) by clicking the "Register" button. Now you have registered Webservice called "paypalexchangerate" which you can use in PluginWebservice.
