How can Python's zeep module work against an API manager? - soap

Question

I've used zeep against a SOAP-service, and it works perfectly. However, when this service is placed behind Gravitee API Manager, I'm unable to get it to work any longer, just get a 404 response.
Here's my code :
from zeep import Client, Settings
import base64,sys, logging, traceback
from requests import Session
from zeep.transports import Transport
import requests
from lxml import etree
wsdl= 'https://link_to_service_on_gravitee'
session = Session()
session.verify = False
session.headers['Api-Key']= 'xxxxx'
transport = Transport(session=session)
settings = Settings(raw_response=True, strict=False, xml_huge_tree=True)
client = Client(wsdl, transport=transport, settings=settings)
data = []
data.append(
{'ServerProcessId': 'GL07',
'OrderNumber': 1}
)
cdata = []
cdata.append(
{'Username': 'xxx',
'Client': 'yyy',
'Password': 'zzz'}
)
node = client.create_message(client.service, 'GetResult',input=data, credentials=cdata)
print('*** SOAP Message')
print(etree.tostring(node))
print('*** End SOAP Message')
response = requests.Response()
try:
response = client.service.GetResult(input=data, credentials=cdata)
print(response)
except Exception as e:
print(response.headers)
logging.error(traceback.format_exc())
When I test the message generated by Python (etree.tostring(node)) in SOAPUI, it works correctly. Also, if I alter the api-key, I get an error about authentication problems, so Gravitee seems to accept the key from my code.
But the response I get, with correct api-key, is always [404].
Got it to work when I downloaded the wsdl to a local file, but don't want to do this for every wsdl.
Any ideas ?

There are multiple reasons for getting a 404 from Gravitee:
* Did you create an API
* Did you create a simple plan for this API
* Did you deploy the API to the gateway.
Once all those steps are done, you should be able to consume your API.
Hope it helps,
