To download WSDL files directly from your Salesforce organization:
- Log in to your Salesforce developer organization in your browser.
- From Setup, enter API in the Quick Find box, then select API.
-
Download the appropriate WSDL files for the API you want
to use.

- If you want to use Metadata API you’ll need the Metadata WSDL. To login and authenticate with Salesforce you’ll also need either the Enterprise or Partner WSDL.
