Managing Forms Using Nintex Forms Web Services
This topic describes managing Forms Nintex Forms Web Services.
Nintex Forms provides a set of REST methods in the NfRestService service, with which you can retrieve, publish, and delete Nintex forms from SharePoint lists and document libraries.
The NfRestService service is supported by both Nintex Forms 2010 and Nintex Forms 2013, but differs slightly in its usage due to how SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013, respectively, implement form digest authentication. SharePoint 2010 provides a SOAP service operation from which you can retrieve a form digest, while SharePoint 2013 provides a REST endpoint with which to accomplish the same task. For more information about invoking the methods included with the NfRestService service, see Invoking methods from the REST API.
To demonstrate one way to effectively manage the differences in this implementation, the NintexPublishFormsExample sample implements a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) client and provides a sample console application in which the WCF client can be used to retrieve, publish, and delete a Nintex form. For more information about the sample, see Using the NintexFormsPublishExample sample.
