Travelport Galileo python SoapClient

Question

I need to develop python soapclient for Travelport Galileo uAPI.

This is 30-day trial credentials for Travelport Universal API

Universal API User ID: Universal API/uAPI2514620686-0edbb8e4

Universal API Password: D54HWfck9nRZNPbXmpzCGwc95

Branch Code for Galileo (1G): P7004130

URLs: https://emea.universal-api.pp.travelport.com/B2BGateway/connect/uAPI/

This is quote from documentation galileo

HTTP Header

The HTTP header includes:

SOAP endpoints, which vary by: Geographical region. Requested service. In the preceding example, the HotelService is used for the endpoint; however, the service name is modified based on the request transaction. gzip compression, which is optional, but strongly recommended. To accept gzip compression in the response, specify “Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate” in the header.

Authorization, which follows the standard basic authorization pattern. The text that follows “Authorization: Basic” can be encoded using Base 64. This functionality is supported by most programming languages. The syntax of the authorization credentials must include the prefix "Universal API/" before the User Name and Password assigned by Travelport. POST https://americas.universal-api.pp.travelport.com/ B2BGateway/connect/uAPI/HotelService HTTP/2.0

Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate

Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8

SOAPAction: ""

Authorization: Basic UniversalAPI/UserName:Password

Content-Length: length

This is i my python code

import urllib2
import base64
import suds

class HTTPSudsPreprocessor(urllib2.BaseHandler):

    def http_request(self, req):
        message = \

        return req

    https_request = http_request


URL = "https://emea.universal-api.pp.travelport.com/B2BGateway/connect/uAPI/"
https = suds.transport.https.HttpTransport()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(HTTPSudsPreprocessor)
https.urlopener = opener
suds.client.Client(URL, transport = https)

But it is not working.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm trying to solve this problem for the past 2 weeks, so if you can, please advise me solution.

Answer 1

I think you can try to download WSDL files in ZIP archive from this url https://support.travelport.com/webhelp/uAPI/uAPI.htm#Getting_Started/Universal_API_Schemas_and_WSDLs.htm

So you will be able to generate your client classes using those WSDL files, because there is no WSDL endpoint on the https://emea.universal-api.pp.travelport.com/B2BGateway/connect/uAPI/ (like ?wsdl or /.wsdl)
