Regarding Chrome Web store API

[Dror Elovits]

Hi all,
I'm trying to *programmatically* figure out the current state of a recently uploaded package of my extension using the GET (item) method as indicated here - https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/api.

Unfortunately, even though the crxVersion is updated - the uploadState is NOT_FOUND which according to the documentation means that there was not upload in the last 24 hours.... ["NOT_FOUND indicates there has not been an upload in the last 24 hours."]

"crxVersion": "1.0.464",
 "uploadState": "NOT_FOUND"
Any idea? Is there another option for me to query the current state of my extension ('in review' for example)?

Thanks,
Dror

Hi Dror,

Apologies for the confusion, we are working on figuring out if we can improve the behavior and / or documentation in this case.

The `uploadState` currently only looks at uploads which are processed asynchronously, which is only if you get an IN_PROGRESS response from the initial upload.

I don't believe we have an API endpoint that would give you what you're looking for right now. It's definitely something I agree would be useful.

Thanks,

Thanks. 
Unfortunately this means that from time to time I'll try to publish and be rejected on the basis of a previous extension being reviewed. Will this hurt our account in anyway?
Can I relay on the https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/api#update API response until a dedicated API will be presented (sometime in the future :) )?

I believe you would receive an error (which wouldn't impact your account), rather than actually getting a rejection. Let me know if you're seeing otherwise.

I don't think the response to update would be sufficient as this simply relates to the result of the upload, not the status of review.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

I’ll be looking forward for updates on such endpoint

shouldn’t be too hard to implement ;)

Thanks again
