Response 200

When there aren't any call level issues, a 200 status code is returned with a status of "Success", "Partial Success", or "Failure". If the result is "Failure" or "Partial Success", you should also receive a collection of messages to say which items in the array failed to update a product and why. A "Failure" status means that there weren't any products that were successfully updated.

{
  "status": "Partial Success",
  "messages": [
    "Index 1: No active products with SKU 'aabbcc' were found."
  ]
}

Response 400

You can get a 400, Bad Request status back for a few different reason. If this happens, you will be given a response that will tell you which of these reasons the 400 code was returned.

  • The 'ecd-subscription-key' passed in doesn't belong to any company or if the company it does belong to does not have an active account
  • Any SKU in your request appears more than once.
  • You're attempting to pass in more than 25 updates in the same call.

{
  "Message": "Any SKU in your request can appear a maximum of one time.",
  "ExceptionMessage": "Any SKU in your request can appear a maximum of one time.  The following Skus were passed in more than once: \r\n54099",
  "ExceptionType": "System.InvalidOperationException",
  "StackTrace": null
}

Response 403

If you have provided invalid subscription data, you will receive a 403 FORBIDDEN response. This will happen for the following reasons:

  • The "ecd-subscription-key" was missing or it not found in the ecomdash databases
  • The "ecd-subscription-key" was found, but the company attached to it does not have a current ecomdash subscription.

{
  "Message": "The provided 'ecd-subscription-key' / 'application-id' combination is not valid or does not belong to a company with a current ecomdash subscription."
}

Response 500

If you receive a 500 code response, something went wrong on ecomdash's side while trying to process your request.

{
  "Message": "Oops, something went wrong while processing your request"
}
