403 Unauthorized createReceiptShipment

[amDavid01]

Have checked over and over again to see if there are any issues, but am unable to find any.

    const urlencoded = new URLSearchParams();
    urlencoded.append("tracking_code", "tracking_number");
    urlencoded.append("carrier_name", "other"); //have also tried other carrier names
    const res = await fetch(`https://openapi.etsy.com/v3/application/shops/shopid/receipts/receiptid/tracking`, {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-api-key": process.env.ETSY_X_API_KEY,
        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
      },
      body: urlencoded,
      method: "POST",
    });

Bearer token is valid and has transactions_w in the scope. x-api-key is also valid. Everything seems valid. If I remove /tracking and try to make a get on the receiptId, I'm able to get one. Not sure if me being based in Portugal and the store being based in the US has anything to do with the error.

How old is your API KEY?

Thanks. Probably newer than that. This means we are not able to use that endpoint? Is there no other way to fulfill sales via the API?

[turboturtleD]

Not that I'm aware of. For some reason Etsy seems intent on progressively reducing the utility of their API by removing features instead of adding them.

@amDavid01 ,
https://github.com/etsy/open-api/releases/tag/3.0.0-general-release-2024-10-21
So its because of the weird rules.
Basically that api is not working anymore!!!
I am gonna get crazy because of this.
If that api is not working, why no one writes anything while explaining it ??
Is it too hard to put a warning box there to warn users ??

[amDavid01]

Yea this is massive BS. If I can do this on any other website like shopify etc.. why cant I do it on etsy?

So I made a playwright script to fullfill all the orders.

@amDavid01 Doesn't Etsy use cloudflare which detects you playwrighting and doesn't like it? Then it will block your IP and then potentially your account? They don't want automation used outside their API. Or are you able to do it just fine?

Tons of guides to make playwright undetectable. Given that etsy doesn't really want to help, this is the only way.
