Python Zeep WSDL Unexpected Elements Traceback - python-3.x

Question

I can't handle this below.
XMLParseError: Unexpected element 'metadata', expected 'id' error.
I also try strict=False settings but that time zeep returned as none.
from zeep import Client
import zeep
wsdl = 'https://api.n11.com/ws/CategoryService.wsdl'
cl = Client(wsdl=wsdl)
request_data = {"auth":{'appKey' : ***,
'appSecret' : **},'categoryId':int(1003221),"pagingData":{'pageSize':1,'currentPage':0}}
print(cl.service.GetCategoryAttributes(**request_data))
Thanks.

Answer 1

I faced the same problem with the same API. My solution is changing zeep's settings.
You should use xsd_ignore_sequence_order=True.
I hope it's not too late.
settings = Settings(strict=False, xml_huge_tree=True, xsd_ignore_sequence_order=True)

Answer 2

Solution:
firstly, to check logs:
import logging.config
logging.config.dictConfig({
'version': 1,
'formatters': {
'verbose': {
'format': '%(name)s: %(message)s'
}
},
'handlers': {
'console': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
'formatter': 'verbose',
},
},
'loggers': {
'zeep.transports': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'propagate': True,
'handlers': ['console'],
},
}
})
Second:
from zeep import Client
from zeep.plugins import HistoryPlugin
wsdl = 'https://api.n11.com/ws/CategoryService.wsdl'
from zeep import Client, Settings
settings = Settings(strict=False, xml_huge_tree=True)
history = HistoryPlugin()
from zeep.transports import Transport
transport = Transport(timeout=10)
key={'appKey' : '**',
'appSecret' : '**',
}
cat= {'categoryId':1003221}
dat= {'pageSize':1,'currentPage':1}
client = Client(wsdl=wsdl, transport=transport, plugins=[history], settings=settings)
with client.settings(raw_response=False,strict=False, xml_huge_tree=True):
response = client.service.GetCategoryAttributes(key,1003221,pagingData=dat)
#assert response.status_code == 200
#assert response.content
#node = client.create_message(client.service, 'GetCategoryAttributes',key,1003221,pagingData=dat)
from lxml import etree
try:
for hist in [history.last_sent, history.last_received]:
print(etree.tostring(hist["envelope"], encoding="unicode", pretty_print=True))
except (IndexError, TypeError):
# catch cases where it fails before being put on the wire
pass
lastly, you can parse with bs4 for xml content:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(ass, 'lxml')
soup.find('category').find('metadata')
