services userpoints with xmlrpc server can't be linked by external device?

Question

I had searched the article, and i still can't figure out how to use services userpoints with xmlrpc.(My Environment drupal 7,Service 3.x, userpoints )

i read the readme in the userpoints module.

$result = xmlrpc($server_url, 'userpoints.points', $key, $uid, $points, $tid, $event, $description);

i wrote this code in the other sites,and tried to add/subtract the points.It doesn't work.

I tried function xmlrpc() in drupal API and follow the api rules, it doesn't work either. drupal api function: xmlrpc($url, $args, $options = array())

the code i wrote:

$key='1234';// casually set
$uid=1;
$points=1;
$tid=18;
$event='event testing';
$description='description testing';
$result = xmlrpc('http://my.domain/userpoints-api/', array(
  'userpoints.points' => array($key, $uid,$points,$tid,$event,$description),
));
dpm($result);

$result is nothing. Does anybody have the experience on this? Thank you guys. Please help me.

i check the access.log i got the message belowed

210.65.11.209 - - [23/Aug/2013:15:49:50 +0800] "POST /userpoints-api/add HTTP/1.0" 200 767 "-" "Drupal (+drupal.org/)

Answer 1

I didn't test xmlrpc($server_url, 'userpoints.points', $key, $uid, $points, $tid, $event, $description) is worked or not.

Instead, I use POSTMAN extension from chrome store to post data to the userpoints service api endpoints path.

1. The userpoints alias must be filled, the data here is "pointss".
2. url:http:userdomain/userpoints_api/pointss method:POST
3. header: Content-type | application/xml
4. raw/xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
   <methodName>pointss.add</methodName>
   <params>
     <param>
           <name>uid</name>
           <value><int>1</int></value>
           <name>points</name>
           <value><int>170</int></value>
           <name>tid</name>
           <value><int>18</int></value>
           <name>operation</name>
           <value><string>test for operation</string></value>
           <name>description</name>
           <value><string>test for description</string></value>
           <name>entity_type</name>
           <value><string>node</string></value>
           <name>entity_id</name>
           <value><int>1</int></value>
     </param>
   </params>
</methodCall>

Done.

Userpoints Services support Rest Server and XmlRPC Server

i changed the code of the userpoints_service

Now We Can use Rest Server on userpoints

 /**
 * Implementation of hook_services_resources().
 */
function userpoints_service_services_resources() {
  return array(
    'userpoints' => array(
      'retrieve' => array(
