[ANNOUNCE] Draft listings support in API

[Justin Kerr Sheckler]

Hi all,

We just added support for draft listings to the API.  This means that you can now pass "state=draft" when creating a listing.  The listing you create will remain hidden from shoppers until it is activated.  Also, no billing will occur until the listing is activated.

To activate a draft listing, pass "state=active" to updateListing. (Note that once a listing has been activated, it can't be moved back to the draft state.)

The docs have been updated here: http://www.etsy.com/developers/documentation/reference/listing

Hi Justin! Any plans to add the ability to limit a coupon code to a specific item? That would totally add so many possibilities for me.

Hi there,

I'm not aware of any planned changes to our Coupon codes, but I'll be sure to pass this idea along.

I'm just updating our library and was wondering why there is no getShopListingdraft method....

Sorry, slight inconsistency in our naming conventions here.  The method you want is "findAllShopListingsDraft":

Sorry, I misunderstood your question.  The getShopListingInactive and getShopListingExpired methods are redundant and should probably be deprecated.  They don't return any different data than you'd get with getListing and the seller's OAuth credentials.

Ah ... ok... online documentation doesn't reflect that they're depreciated. May need updating. Also Change Log is way out of date...

Hi,

Thanks for this. I just wanted to let you know that uploading images
to draft listings still doesn't work. Other fields can be updated, but
when we try to add an image it says:

Bad Request - The listing is not editable, must be active or expired
but is draft.

I hope we can upload images to draft listings soon too.
Best regards...
