how to insert a variable in xml payload data and get the response

Question

I am new in python. I need to get the data based via url. The data is based on a unique number which is in payload. I can't seem to find a way to initiate a variable in "CUSTNO" in payload and iterate it. iterate it. (I have removed some of the payload data)

url = 'url'

payload = "<CHANNELID></CHANNELID>\r\n  </FCDB_HEADER>\r\n  <FCDB_BODY>\r\n    <CUSTOMER>\r\n      " \    
          "<CUSTNO>123456789</CUSTNO>\r\n    </CUSTOMER>\r\n"

response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers)
xml_response = response.text
print(xml_response)

Below (assuming that you want to change the customer number)

url = 'url'

customer_no = 4562

payload = "<CHANNELID></CHANNELID>\r\n  </FCDB_HEADER>\r\n  <FCDB_BODY>\r\n    <CUSTOMER>\r\n      " \    
          "<CUSTNO>{}</CUSTNO>\r\n    </CUSTOMER>\r\n"

response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload.format(customer_no), headers=headers)
xml_response = response.text
print(xml_response)

Your question is really unclear! Maybe your payload formatting is wrong. Which version of Python are you using?

Try this:

payload = '''<CHANNELID></CHANNELID>\r\n  </FCDB_HEADER>\r\n  <FCDB_BODY>\r\n    <CUSTOMER>\r\n       \    
      <CUSTNO>123456789</CUSTNO>\r\n    </CUSTOMER>\r\n'''

I took the payload code from postman. I have deleted some of the data before posting here. I am using 3.7. I just want to make the <CUSTNO> a variable and insert the data with loop. could it be possible?
