You can use webservice api: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Webservice+Parameters

and http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Using+the+PrestaShop+Web+Service

 

or you can develop a module:  http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Developer+tutorials

Hi @sourabh,

What do you mean by "whrn I hit a specific url"? is that meaning when you get a url in the back end you want to start downloading that xml file? if so, you need  to hook displayBackOfficeHeader hook and check for the url you want, if it's the right url then you can start your xml file procedures.

I hope I answered you, let me know if I can help out

 

Cheers

first thank you for your reply so quickly..actually i want create a module which will return xml response when i call a url with some specific parameters

As I told before: for XML call best is to use webservice. Try out the links I added before.

but how i can create custom web services in module?

You don't need a module. Activate the webservice on back-office. Only a script is needed to import/export than data.

Actually we need xml response in different format and this module will be work as medium between presta shops and our application.    when we hit endpoint of any store url that will give response of xml in expected format is that possible we can create custom web service through module in presta 1.7 ?

 

really thank you for your support

I see what you're looking for @sourabh I don't think a webservice is needed in this case. What you need is to create a front controller that will have this business of creating the xml and displaying as you like, you can then provide the link of this controller of your module to be accessed by your application.

That simple

thank you all
