commerce.catalog > invalid scope

[shopeandodev]

Hi, thanks for this library.

I have a problem, when i try to use your library in production mode, and try to use the scope
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.catalog.readonly

and then when try to enter to the auth url, i got the error in the redirect url:
https://signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ThirdPartyAuthSucessFailure&isAuthSuccessful=true&error=**invalid_scope**

how can i use the api catalog in production (not sandbox)

thanks in advance

Which API do you want to call?
Check if your App is granted to use this scope. Visit https://developer.ebay.com/my/keys and click on "OAuth Scopes" below productions keys.
In the modal window you will see all the scopes you can use.

hi @dantio , thanks for reply.

now i see, this scope ( https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.catalog.readonly ) only appears in the sandbox oauth scopes, and i was triing in production mode.

Now, when i test this on sandbox, and i try to get a product i got the next error:

EBayError: The specified EPID value 313642744618 was not found.

    parameters: [ { name: 'epid', value: '313642744618' } ],
    res: {
      status: 404,
      statusText: 'Not Found',
....

and the epid (313642744618) exists on ebay-us. is this error is common on sandbox?

do you know how can i get this scope on production mode?

[dantio]

@shopeandodev the eBay sandbox has only limited static data. I would try it with production and add https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.inventory to the scope.

[shopeandodev]

@dantio i added that scope to the list, and try to get product info by catalog and got the next error:

  meta: {
    errorId: 75015,
    domain: 'API_CATALOG',
    category: 'REQUEST',
    message: 'Insufficient permissions to fulfill the request.',
    res: {
      status: 403,
      statusText: 'Forbidden',
      headers: {

Do you know how can i get access to the scope : https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.catalog.readonly

[dantio]

Can you show me all scopes that you are using?

[shopeandodev]

@dantio

i commented the last scope, because if i send it i got the error: invalid scope

[dantio]

Do you set the correct scope in the auth process? This is important.

The fastest way to test it:

1. https://developer.ebay.com/my/auth?env=production&index=0&auth_type=oauth
2. click on "Sign in to Production"
3. Copy the long generated access token
4. eBay.OAuth2.setCredentials('paste the access token here');
5. Call the catalog api

Now you should have "all" available scopes.

[shopeandodev]

i got the next message:

  description: 'Forbidden',
  meta: {
    errorId: 75015,
    domain: 'API_CATALOG',
    category: 'REQUEST',
    message: 'Insufficient permissions to fulfill the request.',
    res: {
      status: 403,
      statusText: 'Forbidden',

[dantio]

Did you use the access token from eBay directly? Which marketplace are using?

Currently the Catalog API is supported in the US, GB, AU, and CA (en) marketplaces.

[shopeandodev]

@dantio yes Im using the token direct from eBay as you said me in the previous steps

Im using the US marketplace

[dantio]

You are calling it like this?

eBay.OAuth2.setCredentials('ACCESS TOKEN');
eBay.commerce.catalog.getProduct('240206279')
  .then(result => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
  })
  .catch(e => {
    console.log(e);
  });

I see insufficient permissions only if the access token is not set.

Try the API Explorer also:
https://developer.ebay.com/my/api_test_tool?index=0&api=catalog&call=product-epid__GET&variation=json&env=production

[shopeandodev]

i got the next error on the Api Explorer:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "errorId": 75015,
      "domain": "API_CATALOG",
      "category": "REQUEST",
      "message": "Insufficient permissions to fulfill the request."
    }
  ]
}

[shopeandodev]

@dantio i send you an email with more details, thanks

[dantio]

@shopeandodev hey did you managed to call API?

[shopeandodev]

@dantio no yet, it seems i not have the enough scopes.

In the eBay forums someone told me i need to send my app to be checked by ebay support, but i need to pay premium support and waste my limit api calls by day to apply
