To automatically create an new Item to my eBay account, I've used this documentation: https://developer.ebay.com/docs#sell


Then:
- createOrReplacedIventoryItem call (https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/inventory/resources/inventory_item/methods/createOrReplaceInventoryItem)

- createOffer call (https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/inventory/resources/offer/methods/createOffer) (for initialization)

- updateOffer call (https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/inventory/resources/offer/methods/updateOffer)

- publishOffer call (https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/inventory/resources/offer/methods/publishOffer)

- I've find all categories ID here
https://www.isoldwhat.com/?1=1&wv=currentcats&RootID=26395#26395

You have to respect the structure and use all "mandatory parameters" you see from theses documentation.

Hi @newtrendbeautysupply,

To get the latest VariationSpecifics/Aspects for a category, please use the GetItemAspectsForCategory call of taxonomy API.
Ref: https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/commerce/taxonomy/resources/category_tree/methods/getItemAspectsForCategory

Sample Request URL:
https://api.ebay.com/commerce/taxonomy/v1/category_tree/0/get_item_aspects_for_category?category_id=257979

For getting the all of the latest and supported category hierarchy for a eBay marketplace, please follow the steps mentioned below

1. Firstly, you need to call GetDefaultCategoryTreeId to retrieve a reference to the default category tree associated with the specified eBay marketplace ID.
Ref:https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/commerce/taxonomy/resources/category_tree/methods/getDefaultCategoryTreeId

2. After getting the category_tree_id make a GetCategoryTree call to retrieve the complete category tree that is identified by the category_tree_id parameter.
Ref: https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/commerce/taxonomy/resources/category_tree/methods/getCategoryTree

3. Make GetItemAspectsForCategory call for the category to get the latest VariationSpecifics/Aspects.To learn more about the category tree structure, please take an overview of the Taxonomy API by going through the link given below:
