Issue with the FindingService API when using findItemsAdvanced (v1.13)

[pir7309]

Hey 🙂

This my 1st post here and I am in search of some assistance in regards of the following requests, that are failing:

Request:

https://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsAdvanced&sortOrder=PricePlusShippingLowest&buyerPostalCode=60106&SERVICE-VERSION=1.13.0&SECURITY-APPNAME=myappname-goes-here-but-ive-removed-it-for-security&RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=JSON&REST-PAYLOAD&paginationInput.entriesPerPage=100&paginationInput.pageNumber=1&keywords=something_interesting

Response:

{"errorMessage":[{"error":[{"errorId":["10001"],"domain":["Security"],"severity":["Error"],"category":["System"],"message":["Service call has exceeded the number of times the operation is allowed to be called"],"subdomain":["RateLimiter"],"parameter":[{"@name":"Param1","__value__":"findItemsAdvanced"},{"@name":"Param2","__value__":"FindingService"}]}]}]}

The funny thing is that this was working just 2 days ago. I have not increased the speed of the requests. I do this request with Python and have implemented a sleep time of 1 second between requests. From the documentation I've noted that I have 5000 API calls and I am using all of them, but each request has the sleep timer of 1 second. 

What might be the issue I am facing?

Thank you in advance!

Same here! Just to add to the thread...

I've been unable to use the Finder API service for several weeks. Whenever I try to access it I get an error suggesting our API usage is over the threshold but we've had the service disabled for several days now?! Here's the full body:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><errorMessage xmlns="http://www.ebay.com/marketplace/search/v1/services"><error><errorId>10001</errorId><domain>Security</ domain><severity>Error</severity><category>System</category><message>Service call has exceeded the number of times the operation is allowed to be called</message><subdomain>RateLimiter</subdomain><parametername="Param1">findItemsByCategory</parameter><parametername="Param2">FindingService</parameter></error></errorMessage>

Apparently finding api is deprecated, one needs to use browse api. Just looking into it. 

[shipscript]

The finding API recently requires an OAUTH handshake. You may need to review the documentation on tokens and refresh . Shipscript has posted a sample PHP version of that token  handshake  for “Finding” in the developer tokens forum.

Hello @pir7309,

The Finding API has been decommissioned, which is why you're encountering the error message: "Service call has exceeded the number of times the operation is allowed to be called."

For more information on the API decommissioning, please visit: https://developer.ebay.com/develop/get-started/api-deprecation-status

We suggest transitioning to the Browse API as an alternative to the Finding API. You can find more details in the Browse API documentation here: https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/buy/browse/static/overview.html
