XML : How do I correctly parse this XML? Python - ElementTree

I'm having trouble parsing this XML. I'm fairly new to python so I may not be understanding a concept, or I may be missing a step.

The XML chunk:

  <result created="2015-12-05T12:46:00-06:00" host="www.systemmonitor.us"     status="OK">  <items>   <client>    <clientid>67300</clientid>    <name>      <![CDATA[ ACME Company ]]>    </name>  <site>    <siteid>85663</siteid>    <name>      <![CDATA[ Los Angeles ]]>    </name>    <workstations/>    <servers>      <server>        <id>597207</id>        <name>          <![CDATA[ SERVER1 ]]>        </name>        <offline>          <description>             <![CDATA[ OFFLINE - MAINTENANCE MODE ]]>          </description>          <startdate>2015-11-25</startdate>          <starttime>01:40:07</starttime>        </offline>       </server>       <server>        <id>2252213</id>          <name>            <![CDATA[ SERVER2 ]]>          </name>          <overdue>           <description>             <![CDATA[ Overdue ]]>           </description>           <startdate>2015-11-25</startdate>           <starttime>01:57:40</starttime>          </overdue>        </server>      </servers>    </site>  </client>    

I need to extract certain elements so I can PUSH those elements into our CRM system.

Here is my code:

  import requests  import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET    url = "https://www.systemmonitor.us/api/"  querystring = {"apikey":"SUPERSECRETAPIKEY","service":"list_failing_checks"}    response = requests.request("GET", url, params=querystring)  msg = response.text  tree = ET.ElementTree(ET.fromstring(msg))    client_ids = tree.find('clientid')    print client_ids    

If I try to get the client_id from msg.find('clientid') it only returns an integer. 144. (I assume that is the number of times it is found in the xml.) If I use tree.find('clientid') I get []. I haven't tried to iterate over the data yet because I can't seem to even find it.

I think I've tried every other combination I can find and think of but I cannot get this resolved. find(), findall(), etc. My brain hurts from slamming it on the desk.

I would need to isolate clientid, name, overdue/description.

Can someone please explain what I have done incorrectly or what I am missing? Thank you.
