I'm trying to figure out why I can't seem to update a tracking number using the eBay API. Here is the page I'm referencing:
http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/merchant-data/CallRef/SetShipmentTrackingInfo.html
Based on that, I've got the following code in Perl:
use Net::eBay;
my $ebay = new Net::eBay( {
SiteLevel => 'prod',
DeveloperKey => 'x',
ApplicationKey => 'xxxx',
CertificateKey => 'xxx',
Token => 'xxxx',
} );
$ebay->setDefaults( { API => 2, compatibility => 900 } );
my $result = $ebay->submitRequest( "SetShipmentTrackingInfoRequest",
{
DetailLevel => "ReturnAll",
ErrorLevel => "1",
SiteId => "1",
OrderID => 1234546, # not the real order ID I'm using :)
ShipmentTrackingDetails => {
ShipmentTrackingNumber => "12345",
ShippingCarrierUsed => "Hermes"
}
});
print $IN->header;
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper($result);
When running it, I get an error in $result:
$VAR1 = {
'Errors' => {
'ErrorClassification' => 'RequestError',
'SeverityCode' => 'Error',
'ShortMessage' => 'Unsupported API call.',
'ErrorCode' => '2',
'LongMessage' => 'The API call "SetShipmentTrackingInfoRequest" is invalid or not supported in this release.'
},
'xmlns' => 'urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents',
'Timestamp' => '2016-10-21 07:03:04',
'Build' => '18007281',
'Version' => '900',
'Ack' => 'Failure'
};
I'm a bit confused, as it looks like SetShipmentTrackingInfoRequest
is the API call I need to be making? I've not really done much with the eBay API, so it's possible I'm missing something stupid.
UPDATE: As per feedback below, I'm now using the CompleteSale
API call:
http://developer.ebay.com/Devzone/XML/docs/Reference/eBay/CompleteSale.html
my $result = $ebay->submitRequest( "CompleteSale ", { DetailLevel => "ReturnAll", ErrorLevel => "1", SiteId => "1", OrderID => 1933420817015, Shipment => { ShipmentTrackingDetails => { ShipmentTrackingNumber => "77293124902615", ShippingCarrierUsed => "Hermes" } } });
When I run it, I now get the error:
'LongMessage' => 'XML Error Text: "; nested exception is: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Attribute name "Request" associated with an element type "CompleteSale" must be followed by the \' = \' character.".',
Enabling debugging, the XML being sent is:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<CompleteSale Request xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<RequesterCredentials>
<eBayAuthToken>xxxx</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
<DetailLevel>ReturnAll</DetailLevel>
<ErrorLevel>1</ErrorLevel>
<OrderID>xxxxx</OrderID>
<Shipment>
<ShipmentTrackingDetails>
<ShipmentTrackingNumber>xxxx</ShipmentTrackingNumber>
<ShippingCarrierUsed>Hermes</ShippingCarrierUsed>
</ShipmentTrackingDetails>
</Shipment>
<SiteId>1</SiteId>
</CompleteSale Request>
From looking at the eBay API doc link you posted doesn't the second 'Note' entirely explain why it doesn't work as a single API call?
Note: SetShipmentTrackingInfo cannot be issued on its own like an ordinary API call, using an endpoint
It then goes on to say:
In the Trading API, the CompleteSale call provides similar functionality that you can invoke directly
So perhaps looking there should be the next step
