I oddly cannot find many examples showing the structure of the request. Confident I can figure out what I want to do once I see some working examples. Any examples are welcome!

This is a simple example of how to get proof stages on a workflow using a custom API call.

Here's an example of a simple one. Yes, I got the 500 error when testing. What API call are you trying?

I emulated your example and I no longer received the 500 error. I figured out that the XML module I was using has an advanced setting where you can strip out the "XML declaration." Once I did that, it works fine now. Curious and annoying, lol. Appreciate your help.

Thanks for this! I'm getting a 500 error when I do something similar on my end. I worry that means my company's IT dept has blocked access to the Proof API. Have you ever encountered that error code?

We use them more often than we use the built-in modules. They're fairly simple once you learn how to use the API Explorer. (I still use the older version at https://developer.workfront.com, but I know there's a newer one out there.)

Can this module be used for manipulating proofs? Do you have an example where you'd check active proof stages, for example?
