Understanding Provisional Access

[enqu...@tomlinventures.co.uk]

Hi all

Okay so I have registered a new app which will simple import and export data from an external website to my own etsy account. The app has been given provisional access status which to my understanding would be sufficient for my purposes. The documentation states...

Provisional Access

• Read access to any public, unauthenticated resources such as Shops and Treasuries.
• Authenticated read/write access to data belonging to the member who created the application. This includes reading data like Receipts and Billing as well as creating, editing or deleting a shop's Listings.

However when trying to run any Oauth required methods eg transation, receipt; I receive This method requires authentication responses. These requests are associated with the same account that own the api so therefore I would have thought they would be okay.

eg:

GET request https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/shops/tomlinventures/receipts?api_key=xxxxxxxxxxx

Where xxxxxxxx represent the api key for the app created by the tomlinventures user.

returns This method requires authentication.

Any idea where this is going wrong would be greatly appreciated as I am now at a loss.

Thanx

I'm having the same problem using the /variations method. Hoping they validate it (even though most of the stuff is behind the scenes)

Hey there,

Many operations on the APIs (especially those that change things on the store and access sensitive data) require authentication even when you are working against your own shop.

Kind regards,

You will need to create an access token for those type requests, and then use that token with the request. https://www.etsy.com/developers/documentation/getting_started/oauth
