Browse API Search suddenly stopped returning 'shortDescription' field as of today.

As of today (3rd March 2022) the Browse API Search function is not returning the 'shortDescription' item text description field when the 'EXTENDED' fieldgroup is specified. The other field returned in the EXTENDED fieldgroup, itemLocation.city, is still being returned. This is very worrying as this field is important.

Is this a temporary bug or a deliberate change?

Hi @domainstodon & @mbur1202,


I am getting the itemSummaries.shortDescription in the response for the search request with fieldgroups = EXTENDED field. Can you please retry once again and If the problem still persists, please let us know.


Best Regards,

eBay Developer Support

I've been told that this is a temporary bug which will be fixed.
