SOAP disappears from NetSuite: prepare to move to REST
Oracle NetSuite has announced that SOAP Web services are phasing out. What does this mean for your organization, and how do you thoughtfully prepare for it?

NetSuite has announced that SOAP Web services will disappear completely in the next few years. Whereas SOAP was the standard for integrations with NetSuite for many years, the focus is now entirely on modern REST Web services. This means that organizations still using SOAP will have to take steps toward migration in the coming years.
Important to know: the first changes will come as early as 2026, when new SOAP integrations will no longer be supported. In 2027, support will be phased out further, and in 2028 SOAP will end for good. So the move to REST is not a distant future, but something you can quietly anticipate now.
At Fortiqo, we follow these developments closely. As an integration specialist, we help our customers and organizations to move from SOAP to REST, so that integrations remain secure, stable and future-proof.
"As of 2026, new SOAP integrations will no longer be supported. The move to REST is getting closer."
Is a now obsolete protocol, based on strict standards. Reliable, but inflexible and technically obsolete.
Is lighter, faster and easier to use. It is the modern standard for APIs and is being actively developed within NetSuite.
The phase-out proceeds in steps. Companies that plan in time have the most control over their migration and enjoy the benefits of REST sooner.
Those who are still using SOAP today will therefore have to switch over in good time to prevent links and business processes from grinding to a halt later.
This decision by NetSuite is not unexpected. SOAP Web services have long lagged behind technology standards and no longer support the latest features.
For example, no new records have been added for years, the connection to SuiteAnalytics and SuiteScript 2.x is missing, and SOAP continues to use token-based authentication.
OAuth 2.0 for modern, robust authentication.
REST is lightweight and aligns with the latest NetSuite features.
RESTlets provide a solution where functionality is still lacking.
Fortiqo helps organizations move from SOAP to REST. We map existing connections, build new REST web services and ensure secure authentication with OAuth 2.0.
This keeps your NetSuite environment ready for the future.
