In the previous article we showed how to use the suds library in Python to access SOAP web services. Here are some extra examples of public SOAP web services. Some of the outputs are edited for readability. We start with a recap of the one we used in the previous article.

Map IP address to country

import suds

url = "http://www.ecubicle.net/iptocountry.asmx?wsdl"
client = suds.client.Client(url)

print client.service.FindCountryAsString("194.145.200.104")

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<IPAddressService>
   <country>Netherlands</country>
</IPAddressService>

Country Information

import suds

url = "http://webservices.oorsprong.org/websamples.countryinfo/CountryInfoService.wso?WSDL"
client = suds.client.Client(url)

print client.service.ListOfCountryNamesByCode()
print client.service.CountryISOCode("Netherlands")
print client.service.CapitalCity("NL")
print client.service.CountryCurrency("NL")

(ArrayOftCountryCodeAndName){
   tCountryCodeAndName[] =
      (tCountryCodeAndName){
         sISOCode = "AD"
         sName = "Andorra"
      },
...
     (tCountryCodeAndName){
         sISOCode = "ZW"
         sName = "Zimbabwe"
      },
 }

NL

Amsterdam

(tCurrency){
   sISOCode = "EUR"
   sName = "Euro"
 }

Whois Service

import suds

url = "http://www.ecubicle.net/whois_service.asmx?WSDL"
client = suds.client.Client(url)

print client.service.Whois("whois.tucows.com", 43, "google.com")

ISBN Test

import suds

url = "http://webservices.daehosting.com/services/isbnservice.wso?WSDL"
client = suds.client.Client(url)

print client.service.IsValidISBN13("9789059650886")

True

US Zip Validator

import suds

url = "http://www.webservicemart.com/uszip.asmx?WSDL"
client = suds.client.Client(url)

<result code="200">
   <item

print client.service.NumberToWords(2931)
