ebay BulkDataExchangeRequests API XML - UUID is missing

I'm testing a request to the LMS side of the eBay API by sending a AddFixedPriceItemRequest to BulkDataExchangeRequests via createUploadJob.

When I do this I get the error: "UUID is required" even though in the documentation that I can find it says UUID is optional. However, I am including a UUID in the body of the call.

For the life of me I can't find an example of what the entire API call should look like. Headers included.

I am coding this in Ruby using the gems HTTParty and Builder for the XML. My other calls are working fine and I verified this is the actual XML that is being sent.

Here is what my XML looks like with header info:

destination = 'https://webservices.sandbox.ebay.com/BulkDataExchangeService'

headers = {
 "X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL"=>"949",
 "X-EBAY-API-DEV-NAME"=>"My dev name token",
 "X-EBAY-API-APP-NAME"=>"App name token",
 "X-EBAY-API-CERT-NAME"=>"Cert name token",
 "X-EBAY-SOA-OPERATION-NAME"=>"createUploadJob",
 "X-EBAY-SOA-SECURITY-TOKEN" => "My auth token",
 "X-EBAY-API-SITEID"=>"0",
 "Content-Type"=>"text/xml"}

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Based on your XML provided above; It seems that you are confusing the nature of LMS.

  • LMS is not a make a call -> change eBay listing.
  • LMS is a multi-step process to handle Bulk Operations.
  • Because of the Bulk nature, the steps are separated into multiple calls.
  • The advantage of this is that the Service can validate each step separately.
  • Also it simplifies sending large payloads.

That means that you MUST NOT include the Item Payload in the createUploadJob. (See Ebay Documentation).

In general, you MUST:

  1. Create the upload Job. (createUploadJob).
  2. Then upload the File. (uploadFile).
  3. Then start the Job. (startUploadJob).

Followed By:

  1. (SHOULD) Wait Some time.
  2. Check the Job's status. (getJobStatus).
  3. Download the Result File. (downloadFile).

You should read the LMS guide. Starting with the section on workflow.
