Python!
I've been writing Web Services code in my favorite language: Python. I know, I know, it's not supported, but it seems to work great. And I'll shoot myself if I have to use Java. Maybe somebody can talk me down.
I'm using the SUDS library, which is by far the best Python SOAP library I have found.
Here's how to log in:
from suds.client import Client # This next line takes about 2 mins on my servers... client = Client('https://webservices.netsuite.com/wsdl/v2009_1_0/netsuite.wsdl') # It's a bit ugly instantiating objects as in the next line... # Maybe there is a better way? passport = client.factory.create('ns4:Passport') passport.email='my@email.address' passport.password = 'mypassword' role = client.factory.create('ns4:RecordRef') passport.role = role passport.account = 'my account number' client.service.sessionMaintainSession = True print "Submitting passport to Netsuite...." response = client.service.login(passport) if response.status._isSuccess: print "Logged into Netsuite!"
