| Hi,
I am using the API to retrieve prices. However, I'm having trouble trying
to retrieve details for a particular set.
Set is 40158
API Call
DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:https://api.bricklink.com:443 "GET /api/store/v1/items/Set/40158/price?new_or_used=N&country_code=US®ion=north_america
HTTP/1.1" 200 113
Output
DEBUG:root:{
"meta": {
"code": 400,
"description": "Invalid item sequence number: null",
"message": "PARAMETER_MISSING_OR_INVALID"
}
}
Here is the set link to the set
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=40158
Is this an issue with bricklink database or the API?

| That item is a Gear not a Set.
Your API call will have to look it up in the Gear section.

It's a set and the set is Pirates Chess Set, Pirates III
Not sure how you determined it was a gear?

Sorry, I just went back and saw, it's been incorrectly classified in Bricklink.
So the API is fine, but the item itself is wrongly assigned as a gear and not
a set.

Well, that's just a decision. Things that are not regular lego sets are classified
as gear. Gears may or may not contain Lego parts. Even though this article happens
to be entirely made from Lego parts, it is still a different kind of item than
a Lego set - namely a board game. Its number is also not similar to that of the
regular Pirates III sets.

You must be such an expert on our catalog to know without doubt that this one
item is wrongly categorized here.
We have a fairly detailed Help section. You might want to have a look around...

It's not really incorrect. All games are currently classified under the Gear
Item Type.
However, we are going to be moving about 60 to 70 Gear items to the Sets Item
Type in a couple weeks. We are doing this because people have had difficulty
finding them in the catalog and they very closely resemble sets (mostly or entirely
brick built, and share the same numbering system as sets).
This will also help our connectivity to Brickset.
