Question by chris_auctions · Nov 26 at 07:59 PM · search apifinding-apiexclude

Search Query Exclude in Finding API

I'm using findingService and trying to make a query to API with a keyword while also excluding another keyword. It's not working.

I'm doing something like this in JS in backend when making API call

 keyword += " -reprint"

in the URL i can see that the end of the URL i'm composing looks like this:

 sortOrder=WatchCountDecreaseSort&keywords=t200 -reprint

But getting a 500 server error

where might i be going wrong?

Hi @chris_auctions,

Although rare, these are indications of operational issues on eBay's end. These errors can happen on any API call and through any available API or SDK which include XML, SOAP and Java SDK & .NET SDK.

REF: DOC

Best Regards,

eBay Developer Suport

You've got a space before the " -reprint" that should probably be encoded. That may do the trick.
