Fetching Product Information Using legacyItemId and legacyVariationId
In my program, I retrieve information about orders, their items, and products. For this purpose, I use the method: https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/fulfillment/resources/order/methods/getOrders. It returns, among other things, "lineItems" (https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/fulfillment/types/sel:LineItem), which I use to fetch product information for my system.
A single lineItem contains the following IDs: "legacyItemId" and "legacyVariationId". Based on this information, I need to fetch product details such as:
- Name
- Photos
- Stock status
- Price
- SKU
- Country where it is listed
For this, I use the method: https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/buy/browse/resources/item/methods/getItem
The problem is that using this method, I cannot seem to fetch the SKU and the variant using "legacyVariationId".
I need guidance on how to fetch the above information using "legacyItemId" and "legacyVariationId" (sometimes a product is ordered, and sometimes a specific variant).
It seems to me that the only way to fetch the SKU is by using the legacy API and this method: https://developer.ebay.com/Devzone/XML/docs/Reference/eBay/GetItem.html, but maybe there is a better way?

·2 years agoThank you for your help. I got some questions about your prompt.
1. After calling this method I see that it returns exactly same data as - https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/fulfillment/resources/order/methods/getOrders so I think there is no point to call it, as I already have order data.
2. https://api.ebay.com/sell/inventory/v1/inventory_item/[SKU] - there are 2 problems with that:
a) I think that some items doesn`t have SKU and I still need to fetch its data.
b) It returns me error:
for SKU: "220333QAG Чер СР №1". I have tried to url encode it in few different ways:
- M2012K11AG+%D0%A7%D0%B5%D1%80+%D0%91%D0%A0+OLED
- M2012K11AG%20%D0%A7%D0%B5%D1%80%20%D0%91%D0%A0%20OLED
but it doesn`t help.
Concluding 2 above- maybe there is any safer method to get this data, not using sku?
