Let me preface this by saying that I am still pretty new to SOAP and how things should work. I'm working with the Vertical Response API.
I'm having trouble getting suds to construct the xml correctly
for a request. Here is some code:
from suds.client import Client
url = 'https://api.verticalresponse.com/wsdl/1.0/VRAPI.wsdl'
client = Client(url)
vr = client.service
...
test_list = (
(
{
'name' : 'email_address',
'value' : login['username'],
},
{
'name' : 'First_Name',
'value' : 'VR_User',
}
),
(
{
'name' : 'email_address',
'value' : '
[email protected]',
},
{
'name' : 'First_Name',
'value' : login['username'],
},
),
)
# sid and cid are correctly retrieved prior to this point
print "Sending test message..."
vr.sendEmailCampaignTest({
'session_id' : sid,
'campaign_id' : cid,
'recipients' : test_list,
})
In this context login['username'] is just an email address.
That code raises this error:
suds.WebFault: Server raised fault: 'Application failed during request deserialization: Too many elements in array. 4 instead of claimed 2 (2)
Here is the the definition of sendEmailCampaignTest:
http://developers.verticalresponse.com/api/soap/methods/campaigns/sendemailcampaigntest/
Here is the xml that logging outputs (I removed the session_id and list_id
for display here):

a ruby
script (provided by Vertical Response) that does the same things as the
script I am working on in python outputs the following xml (I removed the session_id and list_id):

I understand that the error is in the construction of recipients. It should contain two items, each that contain two items but my python
script using suds is setting it up to contain four unnested items. So my question is how can I get suds to correctly construct the xml?
