The code below should work. I have just tested it on my Drupal installation using the Firefox plugin called Poster.

Remember to set the correct URL to your endpoint. Considering a Drupal instance on http://localhost/test and an endpoint called “api”, the resulting URL to access the endpoint is http://localhost/test/?q=api.

One last thing: if you have enabled authentication for your endpoint you must access the node with a user which has permissions to do so. You can set the username and password when using Poster.

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<methodCall>
  <methodName>node.retrieve</methodName>
  <params>
    <param>
      <value>
        <struct>
          <member>
            <name>nid</name>
            <value>
              <string>INSERT THE NODE'S ID HERE</string>
            </value>
          </member>
        </struct>
      </value>
    </param>
  </params>
</methodCall>
