How to write script via API in Python?

Question

Python

I welcome everyone!
I myself am quite new to python, usually it is not always required at work, but this time it will be very necessary. Yes, it may seem like a very easy task in a sense, but with api I am a complete zero. I'll try to fix it.

The challenge is to bulk update items in the portal. There is an API for this task https://pastebin.com/0LgW0St1 (rename the example from QWERTY1 to QWERTY12). I want to try without Python, just through XML, but since there are several thousand names, the value cannot be duplicated - it replaces only the value of the first value.

I'm trying to find information on the Python XML API with examples, but I mostly come across examples with creating an xml file.

Please tell me articles with examples on the topic, in order to know where to dig.
Thank you!

Answer 1

you can use Postman, it's clearer there, but, alas, you can also learn scripts
if you already fumble how to send requests - then the usual cycle + str. replace or, if more complex, regexp replace
In general, python wrapperflow examples will be easier postman
