In ebaysdk/__init__py, there are several functions for compatibility with the earlier versions of the SDK. Unfortunately, they do not work correctly if the module is imported more than once.

from ebaysdk import trading
type(trading)
function

trading()
<ebaysdk.trading.Connection at 0x28c5690>

from ebaysdk import trading
type(trading)
module

trading()
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

It is a little easier to see the name collision this way...

import ebaysdk
type(ebaysdk.trading) # ebaysdk contains a function named trading
function

import ebaysdk.trading
type(ebaysdk.trading) # ebaysdk.trading is a module
module

api.execute('GetOrders',{'NumberOfDays': 30}) will give what i want,but if i use api.execute('GetOrders',{'CreateTimeFrom':CreateTimeFrom},{'CreateTimeTo':CreateTimeTo}),it will tell me "error: execute() takes at most 3 arguments (4 given)".is there any samples to use CreateTimeFrom and CreateTimeTo.The api reference only show xml style.

This tripped up my code. You can make a request:

from ebaysdk.shopping import Connection
api = Connection(appid=whatever)
api.execute('GetSingleItem', {'ItemID': 999999999, 'IncludeSelector':'ItemSpecifics'})

Then, with the result:

api.response_dict()['Item']['ItemSpecifics']['NameValueList']

Usually this is a list datatype so its fine, but if there is only one name/value pair it returns a single dictionary {name:value} rather than a dictionary as the only element of a list [{name:value}]

Easy to accommodate for this, I know, but if the key is called xyzList then it should probably always return a list datatype.

This is a really hard to notice bug, since in 99.9999% of all cases, if there are any item specifics, there's more than 1 so it seems like it always returns a list, but sometimes not - which took a while to debug.

Your trading api doesn't check ebay.yaml for compatibility. It looks for version.

The latest version and compatibility level is 837 but the default defined on trading API is 648. Ref: https://github.com/timotheus/ebaysdk-python/blob/master/ebaysdk/__init__.py#L828

With default being so old and not even maintained by ebay anymore i guess, it is impossible to make some calls like GetOrders with just NumberOfDays.

Just looking through the code samples and they are completely uncommented and therefore very hard to follow!

Hi there.
First, thanks for the great work :)

2 weeks ago i was able to download all the categories at level4. This week it returns an error parsing the results. But only at levelimit4. (i've just tried and at level5 it works again °_° :D )

This is the code to reproduce it (SiteID: 101 Italy)

api = trading(domain='api.sandbox.ebay.com')
api.execute('GetCategories', {
    'DetailLevel': 'ReturnAll',
    'CategorySiteID': 101,
    'LevelLimit': 4,
})

and this is the error:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ebaysdk/__init__.py", line 208, in execute
    self.error()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ebaysdk/__init__.py", line 889, in error
    error_array.extend(self._get_resp_body_errors())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ebaysdk/__init__.py", line 827, in _get_resp_body_errors
    dom = self.response_dom()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ebaysdk/__init__.py", line 251, in response_dom
    dom = parseString((self._response_content or ("<%sResponse></%sResponse>" % (self.verb, self.verb))))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xml/dom/minidom.py", line 1931, in parseString
    return expatbuilder.parseString(string)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 940, in parseString
    return builder.parseString(string)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 223, in parseString
    parser.Parse(string, True)
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: XML or text declaration not at start of entity: line 2, column 1104979

Just a quick note. Can instructions be added to setup SDK on windows(maybe *nix)? I believe installing pyCurl is not straight forward in windows. While installing dependencies, right at pyCurl setup , the setup halted looking for CURL_DIR.

AssertionError: please check CURL_DIR in setup.py

Hello,

I have noticed the utils.xml2dict adds an extra dictionary {"value": the_actual_value } instead of just the_actual_value. I believe this makes the response_dict bigger than what it needs to be and adds incompatibilities between response_dict and the _response_content(the actual XML response).
In addition to that since the XML version and dictionary do not match (XML does not have that value: the_actual_value pattern), if one tries to use the response_dict to execute a command it will fail.

Example of how much more concise it will be without the extra dictionary:

{
  "Ack": {
    "value": "Success"
  },
  "Timestamp": {
    "value": "2014-05-17T06:08:07.648Z"
  },
  "Version": {
    "value": "871"
  },
    ...

vs:

{
  "Ack": "Success",
  "Timestamp": 2014-05-17T06:08:07.648Z",
  "Version": "871"
    ...

Example of command failure:
If we take the output of GetStore and try to use the response_dict to setup another store using SetStore, it will fail. That is due to the added {"value": the_actual_value } instead of just the_actual_value. In fact we have to manually convert the {"value": the_actual_value } back to the_actual_value in order for it to work.
Example of GetStore response_dict["Store"]["StoreCategories"]:

"CustomCategories": {
  "CustomCategory": [
    {
      "Order": {
        "value": "0"
      },
      "CategoryID": {
        "value": "1"
      },
      "Name": {
        "value": "Other"
      }
    },
    {
      "Order": {
        "value": "1"
      },
      "CategoryID": {
        "value": "641557"
      },
      "Name": {
        "value": "Cat 2"
      }
    }, ...

And here is what SetStore needs in order to setup the store:

{"Action": "Add",
"StoreCategories": {
"CustomCategory": [
  {
    "CategoryID": "1448802015",
    "Name": "Cat 2",
    "Order": "1",
    "ChildCategory": [
      {
        "CategoryID": "1530901",
        "Name": "Cat 2-1",
        "Order": "1",
        "ChildCategory": [
          {
            "CategoryID": "1558031",
            "Name": "Cat 2-1-1",
            "Order": "7"
          },
          {
            "CategoryID": "1558032",
            "Name": "Cat 2-1-2",
            "Order": "8"
          },

I think it is going to save some headache down the line if things get consistent with the XML by removing that extra dictionary.
Best,
Eras

Hi there,

Thanks for the great library.

I am working on the ReviseItem of trading API. If I updated one item title, ebay may response with errors. One of the common errors is :

10039
Short error: Listing cannot be revised.
Long error: The title or subtitle cannot be changed if an auction-style listing has a bid or ends within 12 hours, or a fixed price listing has a sale or a pending Best Offer.

The problem is I only can get the error string " RequestError, Severity: Error, Code: 10039, Listing cannot be revised.The title or subtitle cannot be changed if an auction-style listing has a bid or ends within 12 hours, or a fixed price listing has a sale or a pending Best Offer."
So I can't handle this error but only out this long message to customer. If i can get the error ID, i could change the error message for customer.

Please help.

Thanks,

Jeremy

list2xml requires 3 positional arguments: https://github.com/timotheus/ebaysdk-python/blob/master/ebaysdk/utils.py#L412

_to_xml() sends only 2: https://github.com/timotheus/ebaysdk-python/blob/master/ebaysdk/__init__.py#L190

A findItemsByProductcall requires a productId with a type attribute set.

The resulting XML should look like this:
<ProductID type="ProductIDCodeType"> ProductIDType (string) </ProductID>
eg:
<ProductID type="EAN"> 5702014734999 </ProductID>

I couldn't find a way to produce XML like this using your SDK. Is this even possible?

I don't know if it's possible to submit a pull request on behalf of another person's fork but this fork has the affiliate headers needed to get credit from ebay on traffic sent to them:

https://github.com/materialwrld/ebaysdk-python

Could you merge that in?

Hi,
This is my first such application, and at the beginning I wanted to try your sample code:

from ebaysdk.shopping import Connection as shopping

api = shopping(domain='svcs.sandbox.ebay.com', appid="MY_APPID")
api.execute('FindPopularItems', {'QueryKeywords': 'Python'})
print api.response_dict()

And got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/bart/Ebay test/test2.py", line 4, in <module>
    api.execute('FindPopularItems', {'QueryKeywords': 'Python'})
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/ebaysdk/connection.py", line 114, in execute
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/ebaysdk/connection.py", line 178, in error_check

ebaysdk.exception.ConnectionResponseError: Invalid Verb: FindPopularItems (mismatched tag: line 1, column 429)

The same result is for any request in Shopping module, meantime Finding module works fine.

P.S. I use python 2.7 on Ubuntu 14.04 and your module installed (today) from GIT.

Best Regards
Bart

Hi,

How can we attach binary files to an api.execute call, specifically UploadSiteHostedPictures?
In the docs it says:
If you are using binary attachments (instead of external picture URLs), you must upload them using XML version 1.0. Include the picture as a binary MIME attachment, sent after the XML input in the same POST request.
http://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/reference/ebay/uploadsitehostedpictures.html

Thanks,
Eras

Either I'm doing something wrong or GetMyeBaySellingRequest doesn't seem to be working.

I used:
api.execute('GetMyeBaySellingRequest', {"UnsoldList":{"Include":True}, "DetailLevel":"ItemReturnDescription",})

based on:
http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/XML/docs/reference/ebay/GetMyeBaySelling.html

Thanks

Exception Type: TypeError
Exception Value: list2xml() takes at least 3 arguments (1 given)
Exception Location: ebaysdk/utils.py in to_xml, line 25

>>> ebaysdk.__version__

if I use Sandbox
api.execute('GetUser', {}) will result a error like this

[ERROR]:GetUser: Class: RequestError, Severity: Error, Code: 5, XML Parse error.XML Error Text: "; nested exception is:

error imformation focus on

[DEBUG]:body=MyToken< />

and, if I do it like this,
api.execute('GetUser', {'UserID': 'MyUserID'})
it to be all right.

It's maybe nothing, i don't know, i don't use this part of the package.
But when i start a Django Shell with a project using ebaysdk, i've got this warning :

DeprecationWarning: BeautifulSoup 3 or earlier is deprecated; install bs4 instead

This might be a bug, or I might be "doing it wrong"

from ebaysdk import finding
api = finding(appid="x")
api.execute('findItemsAdvanced', {'keywords': 'Seiko'})
print api.response_soup()

and I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "findtest.py", line 4, in

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 123522: ordinal not in range(128)

if I change init.py line 224 to:

self._response_soup = BeautifulStoneSoup(unicode(self._response_content, encoding='UTF-8'))

that seems to work better.

I want to return TransactionArray and BuyerUserId, so I wrote this:
self.api.execute("GetOrders", {"OrderStatus":"Active",
"NumberOfDays": "3",
"Pagination": {"PageNumber": "1"},
"OutputSelector":"OrderArray.Order.TransactionArray",
"OutputSelector":"OrderArray.Order.BuyerUserId"})

However, it appears that only the last output selector is used, not all of them. eBay API allows for multiple OutputSelector in the request.

Sorry. I am really new, and if I missed this in the docs then forgive me.

I am using the trading API
I cant seem to understand how to switch between the sandbox and production environments.

I see the YAML has keys for both, but it seems when I run the sample it uses the Production one by default. I wanted to know if there is a fag I missed for the Sandbox?

Seems a bit unclear from the YAML which one to use. It also seems a bit confusing, perhaps one should be commented out?

Thanks.

When I call GetSellerTransactions request to Trading API and get just one Transaction then 'TransactionArray' key in response_dict() is missed.
Path to the transaction looks like: response_dict()['Transaction']

When get more than one transaction 'TransactionArray' key in response_dict() exists.
Path to first transaction looks like: response_dict()['TransactionArray']['Transaction']

I'm really confused. I can't iterate in for loop when I get just one transaction. I have to use additional condition statement. Can you fix it, please?

Trying to run the simple example on Github after installing ebaysdk-python under Python 3.3.4. The MY ID is the id from the ebay developers site

from ebaysdk.finding import Connection

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For some reason the error code that eBay returns when making a shopping.getCategoryInfo() call on an invalid category is 10.54. All the other error codes are ints, but this one decided not to be. This is a problem because in _get_resp_body_errors() the error code is cast to an int, and that breaks with this error code. An example input to get this would be calling getCategoryInfo on '3410'.

I'm trying to install the ebay python SDK. I am using Python 3.3 on windows 8.1. Unfortunately I'm too new to Python to be able to debug the issue. I run the final step python.exe setup.py. I get an error: File "c:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\setuptools\dist.py", line 103 except ValueError ^, e:. I have also attached a screenshot of the console window showing the text. I would appreciate any help that is available. Thanks. Jack

The Trading docs include the following...

    compatibility -- version number (default: 648)

And the code sets this in the config...

    self.config.set('version', '837')
    self.config.set('compatibility', '837')

However, the header only uses 'version', not 'compatability'...

"X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL": self.config.get('version', '')

I'd like to use HTML codes in the description field when listing an item. When I do, I get:

Error, Code: 20170, Schema XML request error.Schema XML request error: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize

It appears that the field needs to be escaped with CDATA - it doesn't appear that there's an easy way to do this from the dictionary.

It seems like python 3.3 doesn't support some of the syntax in the setup.py

After cloning the HEAD of this repo, I tried to build a distribution package by calling python setup.py sdist it failed with the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 24, in <module>
    execfile('./ebaysdk/__init__.py')
  File "./ebaysdk/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
    import yaml, pycurl, urllib
ImportError: No module named yaml

It is correct that I have not yet installed the PyYaml and the pycurl packages, however the requirements section in the setup.py file should take care of that. Directly installing from github.com with pip install git+git:// gives the same result.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new virtualenv without any site-packages
2. Clone the repo
3. Run python setup.py sdist

Checked out commit 99145195967e20bfedb364e451912e88d251d7e1.

how can I achieve multiple PictureURL nodes in a single AddItem call? Does this sdk have a syntax to add a list of the PictureURLs into the dictionary? Can't find anything on this... apologies if I missed it..

Currently exceptions are caught and written to stdout. There are a few issues with this approach. First, it means the program cannot catch and handle them further up the stack. It effectively means all errors are silent and require checking several things to be detected. It also results in unhelpful errors (try doing a search with the finding API using a bad appid). Second, writing to stderr is horribly unpythonic. There is a warnings module and a logging module that can both be used to print/log messages and handle them far more flexibly than just writing to stderr (which, again, requires looking through log files to find).

By your instruction, I edited YAML file to include our password, username, appid, certid and devid in Trading, Shopping and Finding/Merchandising

Installed ebaysdk and attempted running the example provided on the main page of this project on Git Hub.

The resulting output is as follows:
None

If I print "f.error()", i get the following text:
findItemsAdvanced error:
Error sending request:Internal Server Error

Is this an issue because I am not sending a Token (even though according to eBay documentation I can pass a User Name and Password instead)?

Hi,
I am using same sdk for integration with Ebay but I am facing some issue. In trading GetOrders API I need to pass some credentials like app_id, cert_id, dev_id and user token
and all credentials i can get from developer account and for token i can get using get_token by linking seller account to developer account. that is perfectly fine.

but I have different kind of setup,
lets say I have dev account so I will have app_id, cert_id, dev_id, no problem. but I don't have seller account. I want to access orders of some others different different sellers if they authorize me to fetch the orders. so I am not clear in this step that -
1 - how a seller will give access to me ( means to developer ) ?? or can be said how seller provide access to third party fulfillment
2 - if he gives us the access then how would I use GetOrders API to fetch orders because except token there is not credential parameter for vendors/sellers as i know if any please let me know ??

please help me or if you guys have some defined steps please share with me so that i can figure out the way.

thank you

Since 1.0 I haven't been able to get unicode through ebaysdk in Python 2.7.

The first problem is that utils._convert_dict_to_xml_recurse calls str() on everything: https://github.com/timotheus/ebaysdk-python/blob/master/ebaysdk/utils.py#L377-L391

I thought I could get past this by using encode('utf-8') on my unicode strings but then I run into a problem in utils.to_string which chokes because etree tries to encode the text again using xmlcharrefreplace and complains of unknown bytes: https://github.com/timotheus/ebaysdk-python/blob/master/ebaysdk/utils.py#L501

Pardon me again if this is just noise.

But I am not clear how to Add the "currencyID" Attribute to my Shipping Details.

I am looking in the docs and samples.

Here is the code I tried.

"ShippingDetails": {
"ShippingType": "Flat",
"ShippingServiceOptions": {
"ShippingServicePriority": "10",
"ShippingService": "USPS First Class Package",
"ShippingServiceCost": {"currencyID":"USD", "value":"1.99"},
}
},

This is obviously wrong as it creates an element and not an attribute.

Thanks.

This is how i'm trying to update the price of Item identified by itemID

from ebaysdk.trading import Connection
api = Connection(appid='',certid=' ',devid=' ',token=' ')
ItemID=151308915152
newprice=23456
api.execute('ReviseItem',{'ItemID':ItemID,'BuyItNowPrice':newprice})

But I'm getting this error---

api.execute('ReviseItem',{'ItemID':ItemID,'BuyItNowPrice':newprice})
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/ebaysdk/connection.py", line 120, in execute
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/ebaysdk/connection.py", line 188, in error_check
ebaysdk.exception.ConnectionError: ReviseItem: Class: RequestError, Severity: Error, Code: 17, Item cannot be accessed.This item cannot be accessed because the listing has been deleted, is a Half.com listing, or you are not the seller.

Please do help me.Thanks in Advance

Hi there.
When the library is used in a daemon it is disruptive that it prints errors to stderr.
You can disable automatic printing of warnings but not errors.

Could you introduce an errors flag like warnings?

I can do it and make a pull request if you accept this suggestion.

ebaysdk-python doesn't seem to have a support to ErrorLanguage, which could be use with Trading API.

It could be a good improvement.

I am testing by using the URL parameters in the example here:
http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/finding/CallRef/findItemsByProduct.html#Samples

Code:
api = finding(appid=APP_ID, debug=True, warnings=True)
api.execute('findItemsByProduct', {'productId.@type': 'ReferenceID', 'productId':'53039031'})
if api.error():
return "has errors: %s" % api.error()

xml = api.response_content()

Result is:
has errors: findItemsByProduct: Internal Server Error, Domain: CoreRuntime, Severity: Error, errorId: 5014, Error reading from XML stream: Unexpected character '' (code 92) excepted space, or '>' or "/>" at javax.xml.stream.SerializableLocation@124f124f

When I used trading api to list a new item, I was not able to add multiple pictures because the "item" that is passed to the API is a dictionary. And python does not support duplicate keys in a dictionary.

I am not able to do the following:

item = {"PictureDetails":
"PictureURL": url1
"PictureURL": url2
...
}

I am reading the ebay docs located at.

http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/XML/docs/Reference/eBay/GetOrders.html

(Note these docs are for v833, and this API call looks like from v837)
But I dont think this matters because the root Doc URL says rev 837, but if you click on the link for the call you get version 833

http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/XML/docs/Reference/eBay/index.html

It says the following in the first paragraph...

Executing a GetOrders call with no input filters returns all active (pending) and completed (paid) single and multiple line item orders. To limit the amount of orders that are returned, or to returned specific orders, the caller can use filters in the following ways:

when I call

api.execute('GetOrders',{})

I get an Error Response Back From Ebay.

I dont know if this is by virtue of the Library Sending The Wrong Request, or Poor Documentation by Ebay.

Here is the error.

Ref: https://github.com/timotheus/ebaysdk-python/blob/master/ebaysdk/__init__.py#L201

I think, should execute() should have data initialised with None.
Hence, if no data is present, we should not call for preparation of XML in the line 201.

I can submit a patch for this, if the suggestion looks good. This would allow making calls like * GetTokenStatus*, which cannot be made with the current implementation.
