Python client for Workday tenants
Project description
# Python client for Workday
This is a Python client (2.7 or 3.4+) for communicating with one of the Workday XML/SOAP APIs.

# Features
This client
* facilitates the authentication to a Workday SOAP API (Workday Web Services) and the parsing of data.
* supports Anonymous, Basic HTTP and WS-Security (which is the prefered configuration in Workday)
* allows the setup of multiple WWS endpoints
* native paging support for all responses from the API using Python iterators
# Configuring WSDLs
The first parameter of the `WorkdayClient` constructor is a dictionary. This dictinary contains all the APIs you want to access and the endpoints of them.
The key used in the dictionary will then become a *property* of the client instance with the methods for that API.
```python
import workday
apis = {
'talent': 'https://workday.com/tenant/434$sd.xml',
'hcm': 'https://workday.com/tenant/hcm$sd.xml'
}
client = workday.WorkdayClient(
wsdls=apis,
authentication=...
)
users = client.hcm.Get_Users()
```
Any calls to an API method will return an instance of `workday.client.WorkdayResponse`.
If you want to page results, an instance of `WorkdayResponse` is iterable, for example:
```python
results = []
for certs in client.talent.Get_Certifications(): # Loops over all available pages
results.extend(certs.data['Certification'])
print(results)
```
The data will be in the `data` property of any API response.
# Authentication Examples
All authentication methods are in the `workday.auth` module and the instance of them should be passed to the `WorkdayClient` constructor as the `authentication` argument.
## No authentication
```python
from workday.auth import AnonymousAuthentication
anon = AnonymousAuthentication()
client = workday.WorkdayClient(
authentiation=anon,
...
)
```
## WS-Security username/password
```python
from workday.auth import WsSecurityCredentialAuthentication
auth = WsSecurityCredentialAuthentication('my_user@tenant_name', 'mypassword')
client = workday.WorkdayClient(
authentiation=auth,
...
)
```
## WS-Security X509-only authentication
```python
from workday.auth import WsSecurityCertificateAuthentication
auth = WsSecurityCertificateAuthentication('/path/to/private.key', '/path/to/public.key')
client = workday.WorkdayClient(
authentiation=auth,
...
)
```
## WS-Security X509-only signed credentials (Recommended by Workday)
```python
from workday.auth import WsSecurityCertificateCredentialAuthentication
auth = WsSecurityCertificateCredentialAuthentication(
'user@tenant',
'password',
'/path/to/private.key',
'/path/to/public.key')
client = workday.WorkdayClient(
authentiation=auth,
...
)
```
# Example
This simple example returns a list of dictionaries back from the Workday API for each configured language.
```python
import workday
from workday.auth import WsSecurityCredentialAuthentication
client = workday.WorkdayClient(
wsdls={'talent': 'https://workday.com/tenant/434$sd.xml'},
authentication=WsSecurityCredentialAuthentication(config['user'], config['password']),
)
print(client.talent.Get_Languages().data)
```
