SOAP integrations

Call and receive SOAP with plain Python objects - no XML, schemas or WSDL compilation.

Get started

Build a request by assigning attributes, invoke the operation over a configured connection and read the response the same way - envelopes, security and addressing come from configuration.

Calling SOAP APIs

Tutorials

Calling SOAP APIs Your first outgoing SOAP connection and invocation, step by step. Receiving SOAP calls A SOAP channel that unwraps each envelope before your service runs. SOAP security WS-Security, body credentials and mutual TLS applied to a working connection.

Building blocks

Python message objects Dot-accessed requests and responses, with no XML in sight. WS-Security UsernameToken, X.509 signing and encryption, SAML assertions and mutual TLS. WS-Addressing wsa:Action, wsa:MessageID and friends, added and parsed automatically. Attachments MTOM and SwA - binary payloads as MIME parts instead of inline base64. ebXML messaging ebMS 2.0 exchanges with per-payload signing and encryption.
