How do you properly call getPrivileges? Got error: TypeError: eBay.sell.getPrivileges is not a function

[doverradio]

Hi,

I want to know the seller limits for an account so I tried to call getPrivileges but got this error:
Got error: TypeError: eBay.sell.getPrivileges is not a function

My code:

exports.getSellerLimits = async (req, res) => {  
  let {        
    ebayAuthToken,
    } = req.body


    eBay.auth.oAuth2.setScope([
      'https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope',
      'https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.fulfillment.readonly',
      'https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.fulfillment',
      'https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.account',
      'https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.account.readonly'
  ]);
    
    eBay.auth.oAuth2.setCredentials(ebayAuthToken);
  
    try {
    let result = await eBay.sell.getPrivileges()

    console.log('result...')
    console.log(result)
    res.json(result)

    }
    catch(e) {
      console.log(`Got error: `, e)
      res.json({error: e})
    }
    

}

How do you make this call?

I think you need to do eBay.sell.account.getPrivileges()

Thanks olliechick.

I got a different result after making the change.

However, it resulted in a new error:

     data:
      { error: 'invalid_scope',
        error_description:
         'The requested scope is invalid, unknown, malformed, or exceeds the scope granted to the client' } }, 

I checked the getPrivileges ebay documentation and it says to use these oAuth scopes, which I thought I had done:

https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.account
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.account.readonly

In fact, when double checking, I have done this now but it still gives error that requested scope is invalid...:

    eBay.auth.oAuth2.setScope([
      'https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope',
      'https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.account',
      'https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.account.readonly'
  ]);

Were you able to successfully make this call before? If so, please share how. Thank you!

Nevermind, I solved it another way...

exports.getSellerLimits = async (req, res) => {  
  let {        
    ebayAuthToken,
    } = req.body

    if(ebayAuthToken == null) {
      res.status(400).json({error: `Missing ebay auth token.  Please try again with ebay auth token.`})
    }
   
    let result = await fetch(
      `https://api.ebay.com/sell/account/v1/privilege`, 
      {
        method: "GET",
        headers: {
          Authorization: `Bearer ${ebayAuthToken}`,
          Accept: "application/json",
          "Content-Type": "application/json"
        }
      }
      )


      let sellerPrivileges = await result.json()

      res.json(sellerPrivileges)


}

@olliechick has the correct answer. Check out the example: https://github.com/hendt/ebay-api/blob/next/examples/restful/sell/getPrivileges.ts
