Python - Zeep SOAP Complex Header

Question

I\'d like to pass \"Complex\" Header to a SOAP service with zeep library

Here\'s what it should look like

Answer 1

I recently encountered this problem, and here is how I solved it.

Say you have a 'Security' header that looks as follows...

    
        __USERNAME__
        __PWD__
    
            
        __KEY__
    

In order to send this header in the zeep client's request, you would need to do the following:

header = zeep.xsd.Element(
            'Security',
            zeep.xsd.ComplexType([
                zeep.xsd.Element(
                    'UsernameToken',
                    zeep.xsd.ComplexType([
                        zeep.xsd.Element('Username',zeep.xsd.String()),
                        zeep.xsd.Element('Password',zeep.xsd.String()),
                    ])
                ),
                zeep.xsd.Element(
                    'ServiceAccessToken',
                    zeep.xsd.ComplexType([
                        zeep.xsd.Element('AccessLicenseNumber',zeep.xsd.String()),
                    ])
                ),
            ])
        )

header_value = header(UsernameToken={'Username':'test_user','Password':'testing'},UPSServiceAccessToken={'AccessLicenseNumber':'test_pwd'})

client.service.method_name_goes_here(
                    _soapheaders=[header_value],#other method data goes here
                )
