Prestashop: Prestashop 1.7 Webservice can not create products

[nhh]

Hi,

i am currently trying to create products via the webservice of prestashop.
(via HTTP Request, not php code)

Currently the API always responds with 400 - "price required".

Unfortunately there is no appropriate documentation which concretely states what i have to send to the api.

I am sending a http request with the following body:

<product> <price>1999</price> </product>
I stripped the other fields, for brevity;

I really appreciate some help, a link to a good documentation, or a example Postman request.

I already read https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/development/webservice/tutorials/prestashop-webservice-lib/

Thank you in advance!

Hi @nhh,

Here is an example of an xml sent to add a new product via WS

<prestashop>
<product>
  <id/>
  <state>1</state>
  <id_category_default>2</id_category_default>
  <active>1</active>
  <advanced_stock_management>1</advanced_stock_management>
  <associations>
    <categories>
      <category><id>2</id></category>
    </categories>
  </associations>
  <reference>boom</reference>
  <name>
  <language id="1">abc.com</language></name>
  <price>100</price>
  <id_shop_default>1</id_shop_default>
  <low_stock_alert>0</low_stock_alert>
  <link_rewrite>abc.com</link_rewrite>
  <show_price>1</show_price>
  <minimal_quantity>1</minimal_quantity>
  <available_for_order>1</available_for_order>
</product>
</prestashop>

Also, you can follow our documentation: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Using+the+PrestaShop+Web+Service
You can found some examples in our GitHub repository: https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop-webservice-lib
Thanks!

@nhh, Your issue is solved?
Thanks!

Hi @khouloudbelguith,

This is what i am sending now - The Api unfortunately says "Unable to save resource"

It would be very useful if the documentatin mentions what is required and what is not. Especially if the documentation would be php independent. :)

Any ideas?

Thank you

[khouloudbelguith]

@nhh,

You need to add this in your xml
<low_stock_alert>0</low_stock_alert>

Thanks!

        <advanced_stock_management/>
        <low_stock_alert>0</low_stock_alert>
        <id_category_default/>
        <id_shop_default/>
        <id_tax_rules_group/>
        <on_sale/>
        <online_only/>

        <upc/>
        <type>1</type>
        <ecotax/>
        <minimal_quantity/>
        <price>1999</price>
        <wholesale_price>1999</wholesale_price>
        <reference/>
        <active/>
        <redirect_type/>
        <available_for_order/>
        <condition/>
        <show_price/>
        <name>
            <language id="1">Example</language>

    </product>
</prestashop>
