Feature Request: Digital Signatures for APIs

[derjones]

Hey,

starting at 31.01.23 digital signatures are required for specific API calls in EU and UK. (https://developer.ebay.com/develop/guides/digital-signatures-for-apis) The keyManagement API calls are already implemented, but the signatures headers are not added to the specified API calls. Also a createSigningKey request and persisting the keys to a file would be nice.

Ebay created a lib to generate this signatures: https://github.com/ebay/digital-signature-nodejs-sdk

I just saw that you are working on a RC for 8.0.0, do you have plans to add this to this version?

Thanks Jonas

The RC does not include the digital signatures.
I'll definitely work on this feature and hope to release it this year.
Feel free to contribute!

[derjones]

Okay, sure. But lets wait till the version 8 is released to avoid conflicts.

@derjones
I'll release version 8 probably this week after testing it under production env.
The digital signature feature is already in review. I already had successfully calls with finance API and GetAccount.

@dantio Thats great news, thank you for implementing this feature!

@derjones
Might you like to test the digital signature?
npm i ebay-api@8.2.0-RC.0

let eBay = new eBayApi({ 
  appId: '...',
  certId: '...'
});
const signingKey = await eBay.developer.keyManagement.createSigningKey('ED25519');
// save the JSON somewhere

eBay = new eBayApi({
  appId: '...',
  certId: '...',
  signature: {
    jwe: signingKey.jwe,
    privateKey: signingKey.privateKey
  }
});

const summary = await eBay.sell.finances.sign.getSellerFundsSummary();

[derjones]

Yes! Sry that it took so long...
I just testet to create a digital signature and do a request like you suggested, works like a charm.
API endpoints I tested:

• Issue refund (Fulfillment API)
• Issuse refund (Post Order API)
• Proess return request (Post Order API)

Thank you for implementing this features!
