XML vs SOAP

[mlindsk]

Hi,

I'm reading trough https://developer.ercot.com/applications/ews/Market%20Transaction%20Service/#message-specifications in which all examples are given in plain XML. Should I be concerned with SOAP at all for virtual trading, or will it suffice to send these plain XML requests?

You will need to sign your requests so you should be concerned with SOAP as you cannot just POST XML to certain endpoints.

ZEEP - https://docs.python-zeep.org/en/master/ will be your friend here..... There are some examples others have provided to get you started.

Thank you. Zeep seems nice though I like to build the SOAP tree with the xml module. I have not been able to find any documentation or guides regarding SOAP messages. Would you be able to direct me to something?
