Epid incosistency within 2 Endpoints

[autobaygr]

Hello,

We are trying to fetch specific product information through Epid.

1. We first fetch the products via Browse API - Search with a URL like that : https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search?q=14411VK500&limit=3

this gives us back a list of products that are relevant to 14411VK500(part number for car part) and their epid numbers.

2. We then go to Catalog API - GetProduct and in the URL we put the epid like that so that we receive further detailed information about the specific part : https://api.ebay.com/commerce/catalog/v1_beta/product/{epid}

The problem arises that most of the time we get a 404 error for example : 

[{"errors":[{"category":"REQUEST","domain":"API_CATALOG","errorId":75010,"message":"The specified EPID value 16048069430 was not found.

The weird thing is that once in a blue moon, the Epid works fine and it gives us back detailed information. Why is this happening ? is there any other endpoint where we could fetch epids that are consistent with the catalogue API ?

Hello together,

we are facing the same issue.

Although we receive the correct EPIDs through the Browse API, we also encounter a 404 error from the Catalog API. This inconsistency suggests that the problem might lie with the Catalog API. It seems plausible that not all EPIDs found via the Browse API are present or properly indexed in the current version of the Catalog API's database.

It would be highly beneficial if someone from the eBay team could look into this issue to provide a solution or alternative methods for querying product information. 

Kind regards,
