Creating custom Properties on Listing (513)

[edgar-haak]

Hello

I'm trying to create custom Properties for a listing to create variation products.
I'm using the propertyID 513

I tried different ways (as seen in the discussions here):

URL = "/application/shops/$this->shop_id/listings/$listing_id/properties/513"
$data = array (
'value_ids' => '',
'values' =>
array (
0 => 'test133',
1 => 'test442',
),

Result : There was a problem with /attributes : Attributes not valid for property
__
array (
'value_ids' =>
array (
),
'values' =>
array (
0 => 'test133',
1 => 'test442',
),
)

Result => Missing input parameter: [value_ids]

---

array (
'value_ids' =>
array (
0 => '',
1 => '',
),
'values' =>
array (
0 => 'test133',
1 => 'test442',
),
)

Result: Expected int value for 'value_ids' (got string)

---

what am i doing wrong ?

To create custom variations on a product we did the following:

• Create a draft listing https://developers.etsy.com/documentation/reference/#operation/createDraftListing
• Add the variations using updateListingInventory https://developers.etsy.com/documentation/reference/#operation/updateListingInventory

(then add images to the listing, and then use updateListing to set the listing state to active if it's ready to list).

Here's an example payload for updateListingInventory (in JSON)

{
    "price_on_property": [513],
    "quantity_on_property": [513],
    "sku_on_property": [513], 
    "products": [
	    {
		    "sku": "baseball-hat-pink",
		    "property_values": [
			    {
				    "property_id": 513,
				    "property_name": "Colour",
				    "value_ids": [ 1 ],
				    "values": [ "Pinkish" ]
			    }
		    ],
		    "offerings": [
			    {
				    "price": 4444.44,
				    "quantity": 10,
				    "is_enabled": true
			    }
		    ]
	    },
	    {
		    "sku": "baseball-hat-blue",
		    "property_values": [
			    {
				    "property_id": 513,
				    "property_name": "Colour",
				    "value_ids": [ 2 ],
				    "values": [ "Blue" ]
			    }
		    ],
		    "offerings": [
			    {
				    "price": 4445.44,
				    "quantity": 20,
				    "is_enabled": true
			    }
		    ]
	    }
    ]
}

We actually found that you don't need value_ids for custom values, so you can try omitting them. Supplying the values array was enough.
