APIs are a bit outside of my wheelhouse still trying to figure all this out, i had assumed pipelines would have been the easier route but i guess not. I guess my question is then do quickbase APIs have the capability to handle a soap XML response when making the call, import data from another web service?

That's understandable. Hopefully a pipeline user will see this and offer their insight. As for your API question, the short answer is that APIs don't talk with other APIs. You would write a script that bridges the two. For example, you would have a script that makes a call to your SOAP endpoint, parses the XML response, and then uses the parsed XML response to create a new request to Quick Base. You can do this with any combination of APIs regardless of response type since it's the script that does the translating. Pipelines are effectively doing the same thing but abstracting the coding/hosting which is why they're comparatively more limited in what they can do. That's not to say they don't offer value; just that there are tradeoffs for either approach.
