Send SOAP messages from command line like
$ soap <url> <request.xml> 
via homebrew:
brew install pmamico/soap/soap-cli or
curl -sL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pmamico/soap-cli/main/install.sh' | bash soap-cli v1.3 Send SOAP messages from command line. Usage: soap <endpoint> <request> [-i|--interactive] [-U|--update <arg>] [-V|--value <arg>] [-d|--dry] [-h|--help] [-p|--pretty] [--version] [curl options] <endpoint>: SOAP endpoint url <request>: SOAP request file -i, --interactive: use your XML as template, update values interactively before send -U, --update: update the the value by given XPath; valid only with --value option -V, --value: update the the value by given XPath; valid only with --update option -d, --dry: dry run, prints the curl command but do not execute -p, --pretty: syntax highlighting -h, --help: Prints help --version: Prints version number All additional arguments and options passed to curl. (see 'curl --help all') (except -U as proxy user, use --proxy-user instead) Change the values in the XML in an interactive way.
soap <endpoint> <request> --interactive This mode waits for user input for all nodes that presents in the given request and do not have any subnodes.
It's possible to update a single value by a given XPath before sending the request, like:
soap <endpoint> <request> --update "//nodeName" --value "newValue" Note that this feature is designed to make only a fast change without editing your file, it's not possilbe to stack multiple --update.
You can pass any standard curl option after soap-cli options.
eg.
soap <endpoint> <request> --interactive -o output.xml --http1.0 -v Print the curl command which soap-cli would run under the hood without execution.
soap <endpoint> <request> --dry You can run the tests yourself via
./unit_test.sh and also get some idea how to use soap-cli by reviewing test/soap_cli_test.sh.
