Connection refused error with FindingAPI

[sweetwater-792]

I'm currently working on a side project as a student using eBay's FindingAPI to get listing data.

When I make the call findItemsByKeywords with my App credentials 

I get a FetchError: request to (http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?.........)

type: 'system',
errno: 'ECONNREFUSED',
code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
erroredSysCall: 'connect'

I know my code is not making calls past the rate limit so I'm thinking my IP could potentially be blacklisted or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't see "https" in your endpoint.

Also, is your server SSL enabled and capable of using the https protocol?

Hi @sweetwater-792 

For the production environment, correct Gateway URI (endpoint) is "https://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1" while you are using "http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1"

Please change "http" to "https" for executing the Finding API calls.

For more details, please see "Making a Call": https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/user-guides/static/finding-user-guide/finding-making-a-call.html

Thanks! It works after using "https" in my endpoint. I'm using express for my server, wasn't sure how to check if SSL is enabled

This worked, thank you!
