Hi All,

We are using the Product API to submit updates on prices. A few products fail to update the price and we get a "Not found" error back on the API call but the product does exist. The JSON input is below. Please let me know if you can help.

Hi Graham,

I'm not sure on where to find the x-request-id but is the Request and Response. Does this help?

I ran a check on the x-request-id you provided, (for future reference, it's in the response headers you provided, 2/3rds way down). The JSON contents for this request appear to be for a different product than the one outlined in your original post, but same overall issue. The problem lies with the very first line of your request.

Currently, you're offering the following input: PUT "/admin/variants/{product_id}.json instead of PUT "/admin/variants/{variant_id}.json

The variants endpoint expects a variant ID to be cited in the call URL rather than the product ID associated with that variant. Because of this, you'll get a 404 since there are no variants in the shop that match the ID provided. I can't offer too much information on why this would be happening with these specific products, but I cansay that the issue should be resolved if the variant IDs supplied during the call are updated to match their admin values.

Best,

Graham

Hi Graham,

Now, we're getting the following error. New x-request-id: 880263cd-a9e2-4d9b-a77c-de29c3756ae5

{"error":"Write requests to inventory_quantity and inventory_quantity_adjustment are no longer supported. Please use the Inventory Levels API."}

We are not updating the quantity, we need to update the price. 

 

Thanks,
Eugene.

Hello @earokiasamy ,

Can you provide some additional context regarding that x-request-id? I ran a search on it going back 72 hours but there were no hits. Do you know specifically when that request was run?

Hello @earokiasamy ,

Apologies for the late response! The x-request-id didn't shed too much light on this one. Can I ask that you DM me the full request being made, including the endpoint URL being used? It looks like a deprecation error, but it's hard to tell initially without knowing the payload contents.
