new XSDs not found: any ideas?

Open marconline opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Hi, Amazon updated their XSDs and now these are not found: AmazonACES.xsd CustomerReport.xsd ExternalCustomer.xsd ExternalOrder.xsd InvoiceConfirmation.xsd MSVAT.xsd Local.xsd CustomTypes.xsd PendingOrderReport.xsd PointOfSale.xsd TradeInPrice.xsd Promotion.xsd ProductEnhancedContent.xsd RichContent.xsd SalesAdjustment.xsd SalesHistory.xsd StandardProduct.xsd StoreStockMovement.xsd

Any idea on where to find them?

Thanks

Very difficult - I pieced the current list together from multiple sources and filled in a few blanks myself.

Check if you can use the newer SP-API if you're not too far down the rabbit hole: https://developer.amazonservices.com/

Thanks, We are migrating, but... shouldn't the new Feed API receive the same XML documents validated against the same XSDs?

Apologies - another non-answer:

We abandoned using XSDs - instead using https://developer.amazonservices.com/tools, generating inventory spreadsheets and manually uploading, and later using SP-API where possible.

If you're figuring out how to do inv management:

We very annoyingly found the feed XSD did not match options on the UI - variation themes supported on the UI were rejected on an API call - and we got very odd, abstract error messages on other calls. We abandoned this approach after a lot of wasted time.

On inventory management, we automate xlsx generation and product management manually uploads via the UI. This lets PM experiment and tell dev exactly what they need. The onus of figuring out all the amazon oddities is then on PM, not dev ^^ The right way around.
