how do i iterate over an xml and save it into a dataframe in python?

The below code does the job

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import pandas as pd

xml = '''<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<trackingresponse>
   <trackingdetails>
      <trackingdetail>
         <trackingnumber>1550161004</trackingnumber>
         <trackingevents>
            <trackingevent>
               <date>2020-10-21T11:04:00+01:00</date>
               <code>17</code>
            </trackingevent>
            <trackingevent>
               <date>2020-10-21T08:41:00+01:00</date>
               <code>18</code>
            </trackingevent>
          </trackingevents>
      </trackingdetail>
   </trackingdetails>
</trackingresponse>'''

root = ET.fromstring(xml)
data = [{'date': e.find('date').text, 'code': e.find('code').text} for e in root.findall('.//trackingevent')]
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print(df)

output

                        date code
0  2020-10-21T11:04:00+01:00   17
1  2020-10-21T08:41:00+01:00   18
