Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
WS Integration – Hoovers (Company Detail)
Purpose: The purpose of this document is to illustrate how to integrate Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 with Hoovers API.
Walkthrough:
First off you have to register on D&B website to get access to Hoovers Web Tools: http://dnbdirect.dnb.com/member/register
Registration Successful
Your API keys are:
Sales and Marketing API - Sandbox
Key: ABC
Application:

Once registered you will receive email with your Username and Password
Thank you for confirming your account.Welcome to the D&B Direct Developer Community.
The development environment provides you with access to a sample data set to give you an idea of the data elements and the associated data types as well as providing an avenue to see the API in action. D&B Direct WSDL: http://dnbdirect-sandbox.dnb.com/DnBAPI-10/dnbAPI/dnbAPI.wsdl
D&B Direct WADL: http://dnbdirect-sandbox.dnb.com/DnBAPI-10/rest/application.wadl
Documentation : http://developer.dnb.com/service-directory/api-overview/16698839-1.html
For REST Calls please use the following Username and Password.
Username : sandboxAPI
Password : XYZ
Hoovers provides a lot of different APIs and for the purpose of this demo we are interested in REST based interface for Company Detail
Hoovers also provides .NET Demo project which allows you to call various API and test them
.NET API Sample code can be found here: http://developer.dnb.com/asset/document/dnb_direct_assets/16782799.zip
Please change configuration settings appropriately to reflect your credentials
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="API_KEY" value="ABC"/>
<!-- Pass in username and password keys to invoke authentication-->
<!--add key="username" value="Your user name"/-->
<!--add key="password" value="Your password"/-->
<add key="username" value=""/>
<add key="password" value=""/>
</appSettings>
<connectionStrings/>
<system.web>
…
|
You can open, compile and launch this project in Microsoft Visual Studio and get to the Web interface which allows you to interactively test these APIs as shown below.
Please note that REST interface requires separate Username and Password which is provided in registration confirmation email
The idea is that we sent the info about customer as it is (as we have it) to Hoovers API and receive a response with potentially amended and/or corrected customer information (Name, CompanyID, DUNS, etc)
For example, XML response message may look like the following

Please note that I added the following Service Reference to Hoovers Web Service
C#.NET Console Application (.NET Client for testing)
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Hoovers;
namespace HooversClient
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Hoovers_CV client = new Hoovers_CV();
client.validate();
Console.WriteLine(client.HooversCompanyID);
Console.WriteLine(client.HooversDUNS);
Console.WriteLine(client.HooversName);
Console.Write("Done!");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

Result in .NET:
Once DLL that implements Hoovers integration is compiled you can complete a programming part in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
Please add a reference to Hoovers.DLL in References in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
Please note that you have to either put Hoovers.DLL in Client Bin directory or register DLL in GAC on Client/Server (depending where the code will be executed)
For the sake of simplicity I put Hoovers.DLL into Client Bin folder, created a reference to it in References node in AOT and restarted the Client

Please see full XPO and AX model with the source code of the Hoovers API Integration here: <Integration Pack v1 link>
Result in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012:
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 – Sales order header
Hoovers Customer Verification dialog
Please note that this Integration works in Test mode that's why Hoovers Web Service returns random data
Please note that "Transfer customer" function is not currently implemented because in Test mode Hoovers Web Service returns random data
Summary: In this walkthrough I demonstrated how to implement Integration of Hoovers API with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. Additional UI elements were added to AX 2012 Sales orders form on header to trigger Hoovers Customer Verification dialog. You can use "Validate customer" function to call Hoovers API and have Hoovers API amend and/or correct customer details initially provided. After customer information has been verified you can use "Transfer Customer" function to transfer verified customer information to Customer itself.
More information about Development process using D&B API can be found here: http://developer.dnb.com/
