What url should we be using for testing?

I am getting an error back from the live url and the url https://xmlalpha.companieshouse.gov.uk/v1-0/xmlgw/Gateway which would sugest these aren’t the correct ones.

Thanks

Apologises we are looking into the issue but we have had other developers using it today but then found problems with it this afternoon. We have people testing it now and will get back to you ASAP

Apologises all Alpha should have now been resolved

Can someone still confirm the gateway url we should be using for testing please?

Testing URL : xmlalpha.companieshouse.gov.uk/v1-0/

adding the schema you are using on the end

I am receiving the error XML failed schema validation: Invalid XML: Unknown element 'PSC' when submitting to the alpha endpoint, to me this looks like the new schema isn’t being used.

The request I am sending is against the http://xmlalpha.companieshouse.gov.uk/v1-0/schema/forms/CompanyIncorporation-v3-0-alpha2.xsd schema so the PSC element should be valid.

Anyone have any ideas?

Will get a developer to have a look first thing this morning and get back to you ASAP

alpha2 isn’t valid anymore, the schema status page has been updated to show alpha3 is the latest schema. Although the PSC element is in the same place. We have tried it against alpha without problems, could we see the submitted xml, to see if we can spot any issues.

This is the request I am sending through, its complaining about the PSC element on line 125

Sorry for the large amount of text, file uploads aren’t allowed

HI
The XML isn’t valid. Regarding the specific PSC question you seem to be missing tags around the whole block.

Other parts also aren’t valid though - e.g. Under ServiceAddress your missing the Address element
also missing nature of controls (got blank tags) and missing SICCodes

It might be worth having a look at our example xml
hope that helps

Thanks for taking a look, this validates against the schema or at least our system says it does so I will take a proper look and see whats gone wrong.

Thanks
