Assistance Required for eBay API Integration to Fetch Orders

[dunsterhouseltd]

I have successfully created a developer account and have added third-party access to my eBay seller account. However, I am experiencing difficulties in retrieving orders using the API.

Current Setup:

• I have generated an application token using the Client Credentials Grant type with the following scope:
• Scope: https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope

Successfully generating the token, I am encountering a 403 Forbidden error when attempting to access the orders endpoint. The error message indicates that there is an "Access denied" issue due to insufficient permissions.

Client error: `GET https://api.ebay.com/sell/fulfillment/v1/order` resulted in a `403 Forbidden` response:

{"errors":[{"errorId":1100,"domain":"ACCESS","category":"REQUEST","message":"Access denied","longMessage":"Insufficient  (truncated...)

Key Points:

1. Access Permissions: I need clarification on the required scopes for accessing orders through the API. Specifically, I would like to know if additional permissions are needed beyond the current scope.
2. Token Expiration: I understand that the tokens generated expire after a set period. Is there a way to obtain a token that does not expire, or can you provide guidance on programmatically refreshing the token?
3. Documentation: If possible, please provide any relevant documentation or examples that outline the steps necessary to properly configure the API to retrieve orders.

Hi @dunsterhouseltd,

Fulfillment API calls like getOrder and getOrders require an User Access Token created with the authorization code grant flow, using the below OAuth scopes:

https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.fulfillment 

https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.fulfillment.readonly

You can check the "OAuth scope" section in the API documentation to get the information on required Access token and Scope for the call.
