Unable to fetch Employee information from Workday using Get_Workers() ( python)

I'm trying to fetch employee information from Workday using python using the Get_Workers method. However, it results in a failure. Is there any example available showing how to use it? The basic intention is to obtain the Employee's Location information.

Yes! Here is an example that shows how to use the suds module which is based on this gist of which I am not affiliated with.

This should provide a base that you can use to access whatever you need from Get_Workers

import secrets

import sys

from suds import client
from suds.wsse import Security, UsernameToken
from suds.sax.text import Raw
from suds.sudsobject import asdict
from suds import WebFault

wsdl_url = 'https://wd2-impl-services1.workday.com/ccx/service/yourTenantHere/Human_Resources/v32.0?wsdl'
Employee_ID = '139420'
client = client.Client(wsdl_url)

security = Security()
token = UsernameToken(secrets.username, secrets.password)
security.tokens.append(token)
client.set_options(wsse=security)

xmlstring = '''
<ns0:Worker_Reference>
    <ns0:ID ns0:type="Employee_ID">{id}</ns0:ID>
</ns0:Worker_Reference>
'''.format(id=Employee_ID)

xml = Raw(xmlstring)

try:
    result = client.service.Get_Workers(xml)
except WebFault as e:
    # Employee ID probably doesn't exist.
    print(e)
    sys.exit()

def recursive_asdict(d):
    """Convert Suds object into serializable format."""
    out = {}
    for k, v in asdict(d).items():
        if hasattr(v, '__keylist__'):
            out[k] = recursive_asdict(v)
        elif isinstance(v, list):
            out[k] = []
            for item in v:
                if hasattr(item, '__keylist__'):
                    out[k].append(recursive_asdict(item))
                else:
                    out[k].append(item)
        else:
            out[k] = v
    return out

worker_dict = recursive_asdict(result)
worker = worker_dict['Response_Data']['Worker'][0]['Worker_Data']
lname = worker['Personal_Data']['Name_Data']['Legal_Name_Data']['Name_Detail_Data']['Last_Name']

print(lname)
