Python SOAP client with Zeep - authentication

Question

I am trying to use Zeep to implement a SOAP client, as it seems the only maintained library at the moment:

• ZSI looked very good but its latest

Answer 1

In my case the API I was working with required WS-Security (WSSE) rather than HTTP.

from zeep import Client
from zeep.wsse.username import UsernameToken

client = Client(<wsdl_url>, wsse=UsernameToken(<username>, <password>)

Answer 2

Probably with the newer Version of zeep the older solution does not work anymore. Here is the new way:

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth  # or HTTPDigestAuth, or OAuth1, etc.
from requests import Session
from zeep import Client
from zeep.transports import Transport

session = Session()
session.auth = HTTPBasicAuth(user, password)
client = Client('http://my-endpoint.com/production.svc?wsdl',
            transport=Transport(session=session))

Answer 3

For Basic Access Authentication you can use the HTTPBasicAuth class from the requests module, as explained on Zeep documentation http://docs.python-zeep.org/en/master/transport.html:

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth  # or HTTPDigestAuth, or OAuth1, etc.
from zeep import Client
from zeep.transports import Transport

client = Client('http://my-endpoint.com/production.svc?wsdl',
    transport=Transport(http_auth=HTTPBasicAuth(user, password)))
