Parsing Soap XML response - grootkarzijn - Jun-12-2019

Hi,

I'm a Python newbie.
Still learning and following tutorials etc.

At this moment i'm trying to learn REST/SOAP api's.
I'm able to parse json results, but i'm not able to find a piece of code which can parse my XML response.

I want to retrieve "result" and "sessionId"

Would be nice if someone can help me or point me to the right direction,

Thanks in advance,

Richard


XML Response:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns2:loginResponse xmlns:ns2="http://xyz/gss/session/SessionService">
<ns2:return result="true" sessionId="7111510180479788278"/>
</ns2:loginResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Can do it with BeautifulSoup.
Example.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

xml = '''\
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns2:loginResponse xmlns:ns2="http://xyz/gss/session/SessionService">
<ns2:return result="true" sessionId="7111510180479788278"/>
</ns2:loginResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>'''

soup = BeautifulSoup(xml, 'xml')
Test.
>>> ns2 = soup.find('ns2:return')
>>> ns2
<ns2:return result="true" sessionId="7111510180479788278"/>

>>> ns2.attrs
{'result': 'true', 'sessionId': '7111510180479788278'}
>>> ns2.attrs['sessionId']
'7111510180479788278'

Thanks for helping me.

i'm trying to use ure examples but I reveive an error message.

bs4.FeatureNotFound: Couldn't find a tree builder with the features you requested: xml. Do you need to install a parser


Any idea how to solve this?

pip install lxml

Thanks!! It works!!

But now I'm strugling with another response.
Lot's of examples and tutorials, but none of the responses I have found is suitable.

I hope you can help me out.

Output:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soapenv:Header/>
    <soapenv:Body>
        <ns4:getIcpIdResponse xmlns:ns4="http://xyz.com/abc/cc/standard">
            <ns4:return result="true" Id="2886886520">
                <ns1:connectionState xmlns:ns1="http://xyz.com/abc/cc">SUCCESS</ns1:connectionState>
                <ns2:icpVersion xmlns:ns2="http://xyz.com/abc/cc">5.0 SP2 </ns2:icpVersion>
            </ns4:return>
        </ns4:getIcpIdResponse>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
result and Id is no problem now, but I want to have the value "SUCCESS"
I hope you will help me again.

So far i tried: soup.find('ns1:connectionState').attrs['xmlns:ns1']
This is resulting in : http://xyz.com/abc/cc

Thanks in advance

Richard

RE: Parsing Soap XML response - snippsat - Jun-13-2019 

>>> soup.find('ns1:connectionState').text
'SUCCESS'


RE: Parsing Soap XML response - grootkarzijn - Jun-14-2019

Thanks!!

Really appreciate your effort of helping me.

I hope you will help me for the last time.
I marked the items i want to have with "*------------------"
Probably are the methods the same.

Please help me with this.

After this I have enough homework to do some reverse engineering.

Then you could have tried Dodgy 
>> soup.find('type').text
'CALL_RECEIVED'

>>> s = soup.find_all('device')
>>> s[0].find_all('attributeValue')
[<attributeValue>104</attributeValue>,
 <attributeValue>name1</attributeValue>,
 <attributeValue>INTERNAL_DEVICE_TYPE</attributeValue>]

>>> [tag.text for tag in s[0].find_all('attributeValue')]
['104', 'name1', 'INTERNAL_DEVICE_TYPE']

['103', 'name2', '104', '2219', 'INTERNAL_DEVICE_TYPE']
