The gem will reach EOL as Netsuite is ending SOAP

[gbs4ever]

Oracle NetSuite has scheduled the gradual removal of SOAP web services from the product as part of ongoing efforts to provide modern integration channels.

SuiteTalk REST web services is the technology intended to replace SOAP.

🚀 Changes with Each Release

• ✅ All new integrations should use REST Web Services with OAuth 2.0 for authentication.

📅 2027.1

• ✅ All new integrations must use REST Web Services with OAuth 2.0.

@gbs4ever Are you working on or otherwise aware of any RESTful counterparts of this gem?

I'm currently rolling my own library as part of working with a client on a rest NetSuite integration with their rails-based PIM system. I've got tentative approval from the company to extract the NetSuite portion into a separate repo/project for the sake of building a community solution. If someone else is already working on RESTful replacement I'd love to collaborate, share code, discuss, etc.

I have not even started yet, I would also need approval from my client
