Want to login to Peoplesoft through Python?

Hello,

Here's some code that uses the wonderful Requests python library to login and logout of Peoplesoft. I used this to automate a series of iscript calls.

import requests

def PSlogin(baseURL, userid, pwd, lang='ITA'):
    params = {'cmd' : 'login', 'languageCd' : lang}
    payload = {'userid' : userid, 'pwd' : pwd, 'timezoneOffset' : '-60'}
    r = requests.post(baseURL, params=params, data=payload, allow_redirects=False)
    return r.cookies

def PSLogout(baseURL, cookies):
    params = {'cmd' : 'logout'}
    r =requests.post(baseURL, params=params, cookies=cookies)

where baseURL is something like http://mypeoplesoftURL.com/psc/ps/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/.

PSlogin will log into Peoplesoft and return the login cookies. To make requests after calling PSlogin, you have to set the cookies for the request with the ones you got from PSlogin.

Suppose we have a weblib function like this:

Function IScript_Hello()
   Local string &Test = %Request.GetParameter("test");
   %Response.Write("Hello " | &Test);
End-Function;

a sample Python function that calls the IScript_Hello function inside the weblib WEBLIB_HELLO will be like this:

def getTestResult(baseURL, cookies, test):
    sqlURL = baseURL + 's/WEBLIB_HELLO.FUNCLIB.FieldFormula.IScript_Hello'
    payload = {'test' : test}
    r = requests.post(sqlURL, cookies=cookies, data=payload)
    return r.text

and we can call getTestResult like this:

baseURL = http://mypeoplesoftURL.com/psc/ps/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/
login_cookies = PSlogin(baseURL,'PS', 'PS')
try:
res = getTestResult(baseURL, login_cookies, 'Andrea')
finally:
PSLogout(baseURL, login_cookies)
