|
| As I work through a client to do useful things with the Bricklink API, I'm
curious what issues other developers have experienced that may impact the robustness
any application.
One thought I just had was that there is no guarantee that the underlying data
is stable within the various catalog related resources.
An obvious example is assignment of part numbers. Clearly, they may change over
time. When they do, are new element ids assigned or would the element id be a
reliable way to ensure data integrity?
Would it be wise to preserve the old part numbers in some way either with a soft
delete or some other kind of deprecation flag?
I would like to work with the assumption that certain values are essentially
primary keys. category IDs, color IDs, really anything named xxxx ID. It seems
to me that the nomenclature in use implies that anything called 'id'
is immutable while anything else is fair game for modification during catalog
updates.
Thoughts?

| I have an order 4 days old now that the customer cannot pay. They are new and
made 3 attempts. I suspect they didn't confirm at the end. But on my order
page, the payment is marked as recieved. In PayPal it shows voided 3 times.
I have order status set to pending and the dropdown for payment status shows
"None" as an option, but I cannot select it.

|
| Dear all,
The past few days, I'm not able to send an invoice to an UK buyer, after
adding the shipping costs manually!
Clicking on the "Invoice Button" brings me to the "Send Invoice"
page.
Clicking on the "Send Invoice Button" returns the following message;
"The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred."
I've tried several browsers on Windows and Android systems, but all resulted
in the same error message.
Looks to me, it is the same problem as addressed in Message 1394101 on Feb 16.
So could you please fix it (again)?

| Hi,
I've received an order of 86 gramm, but the shipping methode which is choosen
only has the following weight bands in gramms:
0 - 9.00
9.01 - 33.00
I expected that this shipping option wouldn't be available for the buyer
and an other of my shipping methodes would be choosen.
Is this normal behaviour or an error?

|
| Hi,
did anyone got TIMESTAMP_REUSED authentication errors?
Example: {"meta":{"description":"TIMESTAMP_REUSED: consumerKey:
XXXXXXXXXX timestamp: 1682887142 nonce: 1683475737654","message":"BAD_OAUTH_REQUEST","code":401}}
I'm getting these very regularly especially when doing price guide requests
or adding items to inventory.
It also seems to happen more often at certain times. It seems like, it happens
for more costly operations and probably at peak times.
I'm using the jave code provided on the API Guide (https://www.bricklink.com/v3/api.page?page=auth),
the BLAuthSigner class.
I have to admit that I'm no OAuth expert and I'm just starting looking
into it in more detail. But even getting a "TIMESTAMP_REUSED" error seems
odd to me. Using the same timestamp should be allowed as long as I'm using
a different nonce. Otherwise, I'd only be able to do one request per second.
What's even more hinting to a Bricklink error is that my inventory gets updated
even though, I get this authentication error back. If authentication really fails,
my inventory shouldn't update.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers, Hannes

|
| Hello.
I have had the store closed for a while and opened up recently.
And I discovered that onsite payment was not mandatory anymore so for domestic
I chose only an offsite payment method.
However it is not working anymore for me. I got a couple of domestic orders with
the offsite payment and suddenly a buyer contacted me and apparently checkout
was not possible anymore "Store has no payment option". This was last
week. I added PayPal onsite then so the buyer could checkout.
Offsite payment methods is available to choose for me in store settings but they
don't show up to the buyer. However this morning it popped in a domestic
order which had the offsite payment opted. When I give the checkout a look right
now offsite is not available for domestic in checkout. So it worked temporarily
this morning.
I contacted BL service last week but I guess it can take a while before they
answer. Any knowledge in this issue?
Regards, David.

|
| Hello,
I am attempting to importing my minifig collection from brickset to bricklink.
The csv file exported from brickset was not recognized so I converted the data
to an XML which should be compatible with bricklink. Here is an example of my
output:
Msw0001aUC1
Msw0001bUC1
I am receiving errors that the item ids cannot be found. The ids are clearly
there, so this error appears to be just a generic response. I'm guessing
that there is something wrong with my XML file, but it appears to align with
the current documentation. Can someone point out where I am going wrong?
Thanks!

|
| Hi,
a (new) buyer ordered and accordingly to the order details paid with PayPal onsite,
an option we don't offer, only PayPal after making an invoice ourselves.
We now somehow can't change the order status. Order is shippend, but no option
to mark it that way and no option to send an drive thru because of that. Now
the order has arrived, customer satisfied, so I want to file the order. But I
can't, because no checkbox appears. The order status is still on "packed"
and the pull-down-menu has no more options to pick.
Anyone an idea how to file my order? (and yes, I could wait for 6 months for
it to get purged, but I don't know if that will happen. Cancelled orders
somehow seem to outlive the 6 month-timeframe quite regularly).
Hope someone has an idea how this could happen.
Kind regards,
Remko van Rosmalen

I cleaned all that up but then was left with four little 53501's. When I

|
| Last few days, I've noticed that the little dropdown menu to the left of
the search bar now resets after you set it, then search. Example, is that I set
it to "my store inventory" then search an ID within my inventory. Used
to be that I'd find it, make the change, then search another ID. The menu
would retain the choice of "inventory". Now however, is always resets
back to "all items". That little change now requires additional time
while doing inventory work, and it's quite annoying, to be frank.
I was away for about 3 weeks, so I don't know whether this change is a result
of an update in that time, or if it is in fact a bug.
