Create a new product via Prestashop 1.7 web service

Question

I am trying to create a new product via Prestashop 1.7 web service.

I am posting the following XML to https://www.myshop.com/api/products. (I created the XML data from the blank scheme at https://www.myshop.com/api/products?schema=blank)

<prestashop xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

            </product_bundle>
        </associations>
    </product>
</prestashop>

But I am getting the following error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<prestashop xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<errors>
<error>
<code><![CDATA[41]]></code>
<message><![CDATA[parameter "price" required]]></message>
</error>
</errors>
</prestashop>

As you can see in the posted XML, the price field has a value. In addition, the values contained in the XML above were enough for Prestashop 1.6.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You need to remove the <script></script> from xml. I tested, it inserts in tables, but doesn't show in backoffice. To show in backoffice you need to set <state>1</state> in xml
