Lorna Mitchell has a new post to her blog today looking at one of the differences she's found in her work with the Magento API between version 1 and version 2.

I must say that I am always pleased when I see that these products do include some kind of API. The Magento one is a bit interesting, although there is some half-decent API documentation for the original API. However they have then released a new version of the API, with very little documentation.

Her example code shows the difference in a call to grab a customer list from the SOAP interface - the version 1 method used a "customer.list" request while the version 2 method just made use of a normal SOAP method call to the "customerCustomerList" method on the service.
