Getting started with Zimbra API

Question

I am wondering how I can go about using the Zimbra API. I have looked everywhere for an API, and I have found no good references/tutorials about it.

I have a web application that I have developed in Ruby on Rails that I would like to communicate to Zimbra in order to fetch the calendar items to put in my own Calendar interface from within my application.

Can I do this ? and where can I start ?

Answer 1

here are some doc :

SOAP API

SOAP Admin API

you can also download zimbra and look at ZimbraServer/docs/soap.txt

Answer 2

Zimbra provide the soap api to get the calender and you can sent that calender data to you application using the XmlRpc Request.

Answer 3

There is a java version here which also has a WSDL file for Zimbra's admin api. You may be able to use this to generate a client for ROR.
