SOAP faultcode list

I'm developing a magento script to import products from a XML file using the API and a SOAP wsdl connection.

I would like to know the faultcode list, I've been searching it for several days without luck, anyone know if there is one at all and where I can find it?

I need to handle the error codes to avoid the code to stop instead of just skipping the errors and continue importing what is correct.

At the moment I just discovered that the faultcode 101 is "Product not exists.".

Solution

Here's how to grab the list for your version of Magento. (I can't imagine this would be radically different between versions, but one never knows what's been done to a system)

Find all your api.xml files.

$ find app/code/core -name 'api.xml'
app/code/core/Mage/Api/etc/api.xml
app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/etc/api.xml
app/code/core/Mage/CatalogInventory/etc/api.xml
app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/etc/api.xml
app/code/core/Mage/Core/etc/api.xml
app/code/core/Mage/Customer/etc/api.xml
app/code/core/Mage/Directory/etc/api.xml
app/code/core/Mage/Downloadable/etc/api.xml
app/code/core/Mage/GiftMessage/etc/api.xml
app/code/core/Mage/Sales/etc/api.xml
app/code/core/Mage/Tag/etc/api.xml

Each file will have one or many <faults/> nodes which will contain the code and message.

<!-- File: app/code/core/Mage/CatalogInventory/etc/api.xml -->
<faults module="cataloginventory">
    <not_exists>
        <code>101</code>
        <message>Product not exists.</message>
    </not_exists>
    <not_updated>
        <code>102</code>
        <message>Product inventory not updated. Details in error message.</message>
    </not_updated>
</faults>

It's probably worth mentioning that the numeric codes aren't unique. Each "soap object" (unsure what to call these) defines its own.

<!-- File: app/code/core/Mage/Sales/etc/api.xml -->
<faults module="sales">
    <not_exists>
        <code>100</code>
        <message>Requested order not exists.</message>
    </not_exists>
    <filters_invalid>
        <code>101</code>
        <message>Invalid filters given. Details in error message.</message>
    </filters_invalid>

Good luck!
