Hi,
I am trying to programmatically reconcile our inventory database. My plan is to programmatically collect the order fulfilment details from eBay and update the inventory in our database. So, I came across getOrders API (https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/fulfillment/resources/order/methods/getOrders) which seems to solve my problem.
However, this API requires an access token created with the authorization code grant flow. The problem is, the authorization code grant flow requires a user to give consent via a webpage. This is not possible if we are to fetch the order details programmatically.
eBay docuemnt points to https://github.com/eBay/ebay-oauth-python-client. But this client relies on a human user to hit the consent button. Alternately, it uses selenium to navigate through consent page, but this won't work given that consent page is capthca enabled!
I am happy to live with 'sell.fulfillment.readonly', but even this scope requires token created with authorization code grant.
Has anyone been able to set up a client for getOrders API and able to make calls programmatically?
If obtaining an access token requires human involvement, what is the point of API and automation?
