Many years ago, I tested the API module of PhpGedView. Now we are developing a webtrees API module. So, I'd like to re-read the old documentation about the SOAP Web Service API, but the links are broken: https://sourceforge.net/devdocs/webservice_api.php
And I found a hint about a fundamental security issue in that API. What was it about?
Is the API still part of PhpGedView? Was it used by external applications? Is there any description of use cases for the API?
best regards

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The webservice is still part of PhpGedView, but hasn't been maintained. The last update was done in 2023 (SVN 7366).
Updates were to resolve some "deprecated" warnings.
As far as I know, the Webservice allows other instances of PhpGedView as well as other applications to query the PhpGedView genealogy databases. I'm not aware of any PhpGedView installations that are using this feature.
