Unable to retrieve single item info
Hi.
I'm trying to retrieve info for an item, so I can bid on it, watch it etc.
Here is how I'm trying to retrieve the item and its details:
var request = new GetItemRequestType();
request.ItemID = ItemID.ToString();
var call = new GetItemCall(_ApiContext);
var response = (GetItemResponseType)call.ExecuteRequest(request);
The last line throws the following exception with message:
This item cannot be accessed because the listing has been deleted, is a Half.com listing, or you are not the seller.
Any clue how to solve this? Am I using the wrong method?
Hi shimmy,
No, you are using the correct method to get the details of the item. But it seems that you are hitting the wrong endpoint URL to execute the call.
For Production items you need to hit this URL: https://api.ebay.com/ws/api.dll
For Sandbox items you need to hit this URL: https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/ws/api.dll
Here is a link that contains a list of endpoint URL to hit based on the environment and API calls

Have a nice day.
