Unable to Retrieve HitCount Using GetSellerList Method

[wa-gift-tokyo]

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve the HitCount property using the GetSellerList method, but it is not being returned. Other properties are being successfully retrieved. Below is the input I am passing:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<GetSellerListRequest xmlns="urnapis:eBLBaseComponents">
    <RequesterCredentials>
        <eBayAuthToken>{{accessToken}}</eBayAuthToken>
    </RequesterCredentials>
    <IncludeWatchCount>true</IncludeWatchCount>
    <Pagination>
        <EntriesPerPage>200</EntriesPerPage>
        <PageNumber>1</PageNumber>
    </Pagination>
    <StartTimeFrom>2024-07-01T00:00:00.000Z</StartTimeFrom>
    <StartTimeTo>2024-07-06T00:00:00.000Z</StartTimeTo>
    <GranularityLevel>Fine</GranularityLevel>
</GetSellerListRequest>

Is there any specific reason why HitCount is not being returned? Do I need to ensure any additional configurations or permissions for this field to be included in the response?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @wa-gift-tokyo,

HitCount field is  only returned to authorized applications. We recommend that you use the getTrafficReport method of the Analytics API to return user traffic details received by a seller's listings.

Hi developer_support@ebay 

Thank you for your response. I have a follow-up question:

Could you please clarify what is meant by “authorized applications”? Additionally, what steps are necessary for our application to become an authorized application?

Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
