I am planning of making a dynamic conversation service using SOAP API integrated to my Watson Conversation service.
I would like to know if SOAP API is supported in Watson Conversation.I know that REST API is supported doc under the section TIME Zone they mention REST API.
I would like to know if SOAP API is also supported.
The main reason for the question is since SOAP is by default in XML and REST API is mainly in JSON.The Watson Conversation Service is in JSON.
I have looked at this answer too but this doesn't mention if using REST or SOAP API.

I am trying to get the users associated with DocuSign account using SOAP API.
I tried API GetMembershipSummary(), but is giving an error "Invalid_Login" although X-DocuSign-Authentication is set, and valid email id of admin is provided.
I did noticed that this method is reserved by DocuSign based on this link
The rest API /users is working fine, but I still need equivalent SOAP API.
you are correct. this is one of these things that can only be done using the REST API.
The SOAP API is not currently supported. Meaning, we won't add features or make modifications to it. I highly recommend to use the REST API. If you already have a SOAP Application, you can use the REST API for newer features.
Being new to SalesForce Integration, I am trying to understand the capability of SalesForce to integrate with external RESTful service (WADL file) and execute to extract data to use in SalesForce UI functionality.
I understand that SalesForce is able to execute SOAP over HTTP (WSDL file) service to integrate but I see there is no solid documents online to explore whether SalesForce can also execute external WADL file.
Please advice me.
There's no built in feature to consume a WADL. You can however, just write your own Apex code to make restful callouts.

I am using the evaluate REST API from the Academic Knowledge API from Microsoft Cognitive service using the REST endpoint:
https://api.projectoxford.ai/academic/v1.0/evaluate?
In the suscription page at Microsoft Cognitive Service it says:
Important Notice: starting on 1/17, our API endpoints will be changing.
If your API is currently using "api.projectoxford.ai" endpoint, you will need to switch to the new API endpoint (see our API reference for that) or you may experience latency. The old API endpoints will be deprecated 90 days following this change.
I'm trying to find the new REST endpoint and how to use it but I could not figure out. Could you please point me to the documentation?
For most users, the endpoints for Microsoft Cognitive Services are moving to https://westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com. The rest of the path is unchanged.
Is it possible to call a SOAP web service a web api? or is a web api a synonym for a REST Api only ?
It certainly is a web API, so yes. The term API gets used in a lot of different ways, but using it for a SOAP webservice is not unprecedented: SalesForce used to call their SOAP webservice their 'webservice API' but have since renamed it to 'SOAP API'.
REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural pattern/style.
A service based on REST is called a RESTful service.
What is Rest API ? and Is there any difference between Rest API, Rest Web service and Restfull web service ?
A RESTful web service is the implementation of the REST API (Application Programmable Interface) or the REST spec. In this case you are also creating an API with your endpoints that you create. In a sense they are actually the same thing and are just two terms that are interchangeable in the context of your question. The wording may be a little confusing but tl;dr; RESTful Web Service == REST API == REST Web Service for this situation
Outside of the context of the OP's question an API is not the same as a Web Service. An API can mean any interface or library used to interact with anything from code. This can be a smart dishwasher API or Web Sockets or cell phone SMS or even jQuery. In that same sense a Web Service is just a kind of API that provides information over the web.
API means Application Programming Interface. A REST API or RESTful API is an API that is compliant to REST. REST is usually implemented using web technology, but REST does not strictly require web technology to be used. An example of a RESTful API is a RESTful web service or a set of RESTful web services.
To summarize:
REST API = RESTful API
REST Web service = RESTful Web service
A set of one or more logically related RESTful Web services is an example of a RESTful API
The difference is merely a linguistic one. The difference between REST and RESTful is like the difference between BEAUTY and BEAUTIful. REST is a noun, whereas RESTful is an adjective.
Mainly, atleast in JAVA EE REST Web service is one with WADL definition like SOAP. and REST api don't have any such definition published
"REST" is an architectural paradigm and "RESTFUL" describes that paradigm
