Looking for header X-EBAY-SOA-SECURITY-APPNAME value

Hi,

I am trying to make a traditional findItemsByKeywords SOAP request and I am getting an error message "Authentication failed : Invalid Application" for the header values I am providing "X-EBAY-SOA-SECURITY-APPNAME".

Can you please let me know from where I can get the correct value of "X-EBAY-SOA-SECURITY-APPNAME" header? I totally forgot what name I entered for application name at the time of creation.

Regards,

Jawad

"Note: When using SOAP with Finding API requests, standard and call-specific parameters and headers cannot be passed in through the SOAP Header section in the request."

I think this means that the information must be sent as an HTTP header and not as a SOAP header. For instance, this would be the HTTP header for the call:

CONTENT-TYPE: SOAP12 (optional)
X-EBAY-SOA-OPERATION-NAME: findItemsByKeywords
X-EBAY-SOA-SECURITY-APPNAME: Your-ebay-app-id

Go to your developer profile's account settings.

Find your ebay-app-id in your developer account Keys.

App ID (Client ID)

Select either your Sandbox or Production key, as appropriate:

More info on the Finding API:

It looks like your endpoint is for the production site. Since authentication failed, are you using your production keys with the production endpoint? Have you signed the production agreement here?
