Response 400

You will receive a 400 Bad Request response if the body of your request was not in a valid format to even attempt the creation of a new product.

Response 403

If you have provided an invalid "ecd-subscription-key", 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.
  • The provided "ecd-subscription-key" is associated with an AppStore subscription, but the associated "application-id" header was either missing or not the same one associated with the " ecd-subscription-key".

{
  "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"
}
