Internal Server Error 500 | GET request using itemId

[rehomm_0]

I'm using node js and express to make a GET request to this endpoint: https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search

const itemId = req.params.itemId;

console.log(itemId);

try {

const response = await axios.get(`https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item/${itemId}`, {

headers: {

'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.EBAY_AUTH_TOKEN}`,

'Content-Type': 'application/json',

'X-EBAY-C-MARKETPLACE-ID': 'EBAY-US',

'X-EBAY-C-ENDUSERCTX': 'affiliateCampaignId="5********3"'

}

});

const item = response.data;

res.json(item);

} catch (error) {

console.error(error);

res.status(500).json({ error: 'Error retrieving item details' });

}

});

I checked if the itemId is defined, and I successfully logged it to the console. It was retrieved by making a get request to the browse api using a keyword search:

https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search

Here is the URL I'm testing in Postman. Is this the correct way to format the URL?

/api/products/item/v1|373817615913|642852859250

Here is the error that was sent in the response:

this URL works

https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item/v1%7C373817615913%7C642852859250
(my client encoded the | )

This likely should work as well:
https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item/v1|373817615913|642852859250

https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search is for the browse search call

https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/buy/browse/resources/item_summary/methods/search

For get item it shows the format:

https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item/{item_id}?fieldgroups=string

fieldgroups being optional and {item_id} being the format you listed without the extra path stuff preceding it: v1|373817615913|642852859250

https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/buy/browse/resources/item/methods/getItem

might want to add these headers as well:

Accept:application/json
Accept-Encoding:application/gzip

Thanks!!

For some reason the response to my GET request did not like the vertical bars used in the itemId, but when i replaced them with '%7C' it worked.

Here is my solution:

router.get('/item/:itemId', async (req, res) => {

const itemId = req.params.itemId;

const encodedItemId = itemId.replace(/\|/g, '%7C');

try {

const response = await axios.get(`https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item/${encodedItemId}`, {

headers: {

'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.EBAY_AUTH_TOKEN}`,

'Content-Type': 'application/json',

'X-EBAY-C-MARKETPLACE-ID': 'EBAY-US',

'X-EBAY-C-ENDUSERCTX': 'affiliateCampaignId="5********3"',

'Accept': 'application/json',

'Accept-Encoding': 'application/gzip'

}

});
