I am implementing a custom solution to interface with a Magento website. My code

  • 0

I am implementing a custom solution to interface with a Magento website. My code is in C#. I am trying to create products using either the v2_soap API and the xml-rpc API web services. I have attempted to create a product using both services. I cannot seem to successfully create a product. With each service I receive the error message [102] Invalid data given. Details in error message.. I have tried passing in a variety of data to the api call, but have not had any luck. I am wondering a few things:

1) Is there any way to recieve better error messages about what data is not valid when I make a web service call? The error message seems to indicate that I can get details somewhere, but I have searched through all logs, error message data I can find with no luck.

2) What are the minimum attributes required to add a new product using the web service?

Here is a bit of the code I am using. This is the XML-RPC implementation. I am using the cook computing xml-rpc library.

public int CreateProduct(Product product) {     var entity = ConvertProduct(product);     //int productId = Service.catalogProductCreate(SessionId, 'simple', '0', product.Sku, entity);     int productId = XmlRpcService.CallReturnInt(SessionId, 'catalog_product.create',       new object[] {           'simple' /* product type */,           0 /* attribute set */,           product.Sku /* sku */,           entity /* product data */        });     return productId; } private XmlRpcStruct ConvertProduct(Product product) {     var entity = new XmlRpcStruct();     entity.Add('name', product.Name);     entity.Add('description', product.Description);     return entity; } protected IMagentoXmlRcpService XmlRpcService {     get {         return this.xmlRpcService;     } }

  1. The key was the attribute set. The default attribute set is 4 (at least for me). That little guy is the root of a lot of problems. The error responses on the Magento web services could really use some work.
