Response

The result is an XML document inside GetMileageRawResult: a tlp:Mileage root with one tlp:Mileage element per record. Check the response format first: the same slot also carries the empty result and errors.

Order: Travel date, then employee initials, then customer name.

tlp:MileageMileageRaw[]

One element per record. Fields without a value are left out of the element, so treat every field as optional.

Example error

Wrong credentials, or a call over plain HTTP:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <soap:Body>
    <GetMileageRawResponse xmlns="http://www.timelog.com/ws/tlp/v4_4">
      <GetMileageRawResult>
        <tlp:Errors xmlns:tlp="http://www.timelog.com/XML/Schema/tlp/v4_4">
          <tlp:Error>Access denied. Check siteCode, apiID, apiPassword and SSL settings</tlp:Error>
        </tlp:Errors>
      </GetMileageRawResult>
    </GetMileageRawResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Data and No rows are illustrative examples: the format follows the service's documented output, with made-up values (only one record shown). Access denied was recorded from a real call with wrong credentials (to GetCustomersShortList; every data method answers the same way).

Errors

The errors every method can return (access denied, operation failed, invalid request) are listed once in Responses and errors.

This method has no errors of its own beyond the shared ones.
