I'm trying out eBay's findingAPI.

I've created a new REST service, and successfully tested the connection.

And yet when I tried "Populate Response Structure", it returns:
"Failure. Incorrect response data....."

Any clue for me to go on?

Thanks in advance!

Can you tell us which exact API you are invoking, so we can try and reproduce it?

Sure, Max.

This is what I tried to invoke for the eBay findingAPI:-

url = "http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/...";
url += "?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsByKeywords";
url += "&SERVICE-VERSION=1.0.0";
url += "&SECURITY-APPNAME=MyAppID";
url += "&GLOBAL-ID=EBAY-US";
url += "&RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=JSON";
url += "&callback=_cb_findItemsByKeywords";
url += "&REST-PAYLOAD";
url += "&keywords=harry%20potter";
url += "&paginationInput.entriesPerPage=3";

(Retrieved from: http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/fin...)

Except of course you need to fill in the MyAppID.

Many Thanks!

Problem solved!

I tried putting the request parameter "_cb_findItemsByKeywords" in the header (
see it on http://help.gotiggr.com/documentation...), and test connection again, then populate the responses.

It worked,although I do not understand the issue, yet.

Can someone help explain the "header" check in the above, please?

Thx!

Hi Jonathan,

Header check box is used to send a parameter in the head of the HTTP request.
You can set parameter to be part of the header if it's required by service.
