typescript - Getting node-soap to work with tradetracker soap api - Stack Overflow

admin2025-04-21  0

I'm trying to make the SOAP api of tradetracker to use with typescript node-soap. Thus far, I only managed to connect and authenticate using their authenticate method. But as soon as the second request takes place, authentication is lost and error "Not yet authenticated" returns.

I will provide as much info as I can to give context. Here the WDSL link

I have a working prototype using python:

from decimal import Decimal
from zeep import Client
from zeep.plugins import HistoryPlugin
from zeep.helpers import serialize_object
import json
from xml.etree import ElementTree

history = HistoryPlugin()

# Convert Decimal to float
def decimal_to_float(obj):
    if isinstance(obj, Decimal):
        return float(obj)
    raise TypeError(f"Object of type {obj.__class__.__name__} is not serializable")

def object_to_dict(obj):
    if isinstance(obj, list):
        return [object_to_dict(item) for item in obj]
    if isinstance(obj, dict):
        return {key: object_to_dict(value) for key, value in obj.items()}
    if isinstance(obj, Decimal): 
        return float(obj)
    if hasattr(obj, '__dict__'):
        return object_to_dict(obj.__dict__)
    return obj

# Tradetracker credentials
customer_id = 'xxxxxx'
password = 'mysupersecretpasswordhere'
affiliate_site_id = 000000

# URL TradeTracker SOAP-service
wsdl_url = ''

# Create the SOAP client
client = Client(wsdl=wsdl_url, plugins=[history])

# Define auth params/header
auth_params = {
    'customerID': customer_id,
    'passphrase': password,
    'sandbox': False,
    'locale': 'nl_NL',
    'demo': False
}

try:
    # Authenticate using their SOAP authenticate method
    client.service.authenticate(
        customerID=auth_params['customerID'],
        passphrase=auth_params['passphrase'],
        sandbox=auth_params['sandbox'],
        locale=auth_params['locale'],
        demo=auth_params['demo']
    )
    
    print("Authentication Succeeded")  
    
    # Print the raw SOAP request XML sent
    raw_request = ElementTree.tostring(history.last_sent['envelope'], encoding='utf-8').decode('utf-8')
    # print("SOAP Request:", raw_request)
    print("Last request:", history.last_sent)

    # Options for product feed
    feedProductsOptions = {
        'limit': 5
    }

    # Get site categories
    categories = client.service.getAffiliateSiteCategories()
    print(categories)

except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error with authentification or method call: {e}")

The above python code is 100% working. It authenticates and gets the affiliate site categories. No problem.

Now I tried to implement this in typescript / node-soap, but for the hell of it, it's just not working. I want this to work in typescript. The resultat this moment is that the authentication method returns 'undefined' (i guess it worked, not sure if it should return undefined though, theres no info on that), and then the response for the next method request, whatever it may be, is always an error: "Not yet authenticated". But it just clearly did!? I know that because if i change the passphrase, I get a different error: "Failed to authenticate".

Here is my typescript test code:

import * as soap from 'soap';

const WSDL_URL = '';
const credentials = {
  customerID: 'xxxxxx',
  passphrase: 'mysupersecretpasswordhere',
  sandbox: false,
  locale: 'nl_NL',
  demo: false,
};

class TradeTrackerClient {
  private client: soap.Client | null = null;

  async initialize(): Promise<void> {
    try {
      // Create the SOAP client
      this.client = await soap.createClientAsync(WSDL_URL, {
        envelopeKey: 'soap-env',
        forceSoap12Headers: false,
      });

      if (!this.client) {
        throw new Error('Failed to create SOAP client');
      }

      // Perform authentication
      console.log('Authenticating...');
      this.client.addHttpHeader(
        'SOAPAction',
        '',
      );

      const options: soap.IOptions = {
        wsdl_headers: {
          SOAPAction: '',
        },
      };
      await this.client.authenticateAsync(credentials, options);
      console.log('Authentication successful');
      console.log('Last request (authenticate):', this.client.lastRequest);

      // Test subsequent request
      console.log('Fetching affiliate site categories...');
      const [categories] =
        await this.client.getAffiliateSiteCategoriesAsync(null);
      console.log('Categories:', categories);
      console.log('Last request (categories):', this.client.lastRequest);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error:', error.message);
      if (this.client?.lastRequest) {
        console.error('Last request:', this.client.lastRequest);
      }
    }
  }
}

const client = new TradeTrackerClient();
client.initialize();

This doesn't work. Here is the output (i removed sensitive data):

Authenticating...

Last request (authenticate): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap-env:Envelope xmlns:soap-env="/" xmlns:xsi=";  xmlns:tns=";><soap-env:Body><tns:authenticate><customerID>000000</customerID><passphrase>supersecretpassword</passphrase><sandbox>false</sandbox><locale>nl_NL</locale><demo>false</demo></tns:authenticate></soap-env:Body></soap-env:Envelope>

Their (very limited) docs tell me this about the authentication method:

Description

void authenticate ( nonNegativeInteger $customerID, normalizedString $passphrase, boolean $sandbox, Locale $locale, boolean $demo )

This method is used in the header section of the SOAP request and contains the authentication parameters.

Can anyone help me out on this one? Are the headers wrong? What does python zeep do, soap doesn't?

I'm trying to make the SOAP api of tradetracker to use with typescript node-soap. Thus far, I only managed to connect and authenticate using their authenticate method. But as soon as the second request takes place, authentication is lost and error "Not yet authenticated" returns.

I will provide as much info as I can to give context. Here the WDSL link

      // Test subsequent request
      console.log('Fetching affiliate site categories...');
      const [categories] =
        await this.client.getAffiliateSiteCategoriesAsync(null);
      console.log('Categories:', categories);
      console.log('Last request (categories):', this.client.lastRequest);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error:', error.message);
      if (this.client?.lastRequest) {
        console.error('Last request:', this.client.lastRequest);
      }
    }
  }
}

const client = new TradeTrackerClient();
client.initialize();

This doesn't work. Here is the output (i removed sensitive data):

Authenticating...
Authentication successful
Last request (authenticate): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap-env:Envelope xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap./soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3./2001/XMLSchema-instance"  xmlns:tns="http://ws.tradetracker/soap/affiliate"><soap-env:Body><tns:authenticate><customerID>000000</customerID><passphrase>supersecretpassword</passphrase><sandbox>false</sandbox><locale>nl_NL</locale><demo>false</demo></tns:authenticate></soap-env:Body></soap-env:Envelope>
Fetching affiliate site categories...
Error: SOAP-ENV:Client: Not yet authenticated.
Last request: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap-env:Envelope xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap./soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3./2001/XMLSchema-instance"  xmlns:tns="http://ws.tradetracker/soap/affiliate"><soap-env:Body><tns:getAffiliateSiteCategories></tns:getAffiliateSiteCategories></soap-env:Body></soap-env:Envelope>

Their (very limited) docs tell me this about the authentication method:

Description

void authenticate ( nonNegativeInteger $customerID, normalizedString $passphrase, boolean $sandbox, Locale $locale, boolean $demo )

This method is used in the header section of the SOAP request and contains the authentication parameters.

Can anyone help me out on this one? Are the headers wrong? What does python zeep do, soap doesn't?

I got it to work using cookies. My bad:

import * as soap from 'soap';
import { IncomingHttpHeaders } from 'http';

const WSDL_URL = 'http://ws.tradetracker/soap/affiliate?wsdl';
const credentials = {
  customerID: '00000',
  passphrase: 'mysecretpassphrase',
  sandbox: false,
  locale: 'nl_NL',
  demo: false,
};

class TradeTrackerClient {
  private client: soap.Client | null = null;
  private cookie: string | null = null;

  async initialize(): Promise<void> {
    try {
      // Create the SOAP client
      this.client = await soap.createClientAsync(WSDL_URL, {
        envelopeKey: 'soap-env',
        forceSoap12Headers: false,
      });

      if (!this.client) {
        throw new Error('Failed to create SOAP client');
      }

      // Listen for responses and capture cookies
      this.client.on('response', (body: any, response: any) => {
        if (response && response.headers) {
          this.extractCookie(response.headers);
        }
      });

      // Perform authentication
      console.log('Authenticating...');
      const [authResponse] = await this.client.authenticateAsync(credentials);
      console.log('Authentication successful:', authResponse);
      console.log('Last request (authenticate):', this.client.lastRequest);

      // Ensure the session cookie is stored before making further requests
      if (!this.cookie) {
        throw new Error('Authentication did not return a session cookie');
      }

      // Attach cookie for future requests
      this.client.addHttpHeader('Cookie', this.cookie);

      // Test subsequent request
      console.log('Fetching affiliate site categories...');
      const [categories] = await this.client.getAffiliateSiteCategoriesAsync(null);
      console.log('Categories:', categories);
      console.log('Last request (categories):', this.client.lastRequest);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error:', error.message);
      if (this.client?.lastRequest) {
        console.error('Last request:', this.client.lastRequest);
      }
    }
  }

  private extractCookie(headers: IncomingHttpHeaders): void {
    const setCookieHeader = headers['set-cookie'];
    if (setCookieHeader && setCookieHeader.length > 0) {
      this.cookie = setCookieHeader[0].split(';')[0]; // Extract SID=value
      console.log('Extracted Cookie:', this.cookie);
    }
  }
}

const client = new TradeTrackerClient();
client.initialize();
