Question

I am trying to create a new listing on Etsy.

1. I used oauth to authenticate and got
   OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY
   and
   OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET

2. I check it with this code and I got return og all the seller data, so everything is ok with the OAuth.

   $oauth = new OAuth(OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY, OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1, OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_URI);
   $oauth->setToken("key","secret"); 
   
   try {
    $data = $oauth->fetch("http://openapi.etsy.com/v2/users/__SELF__", null, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_GET);
    $json = $oauth->getLastResponse();
    print_r(json_decode($json, true));
   
   } catch (OAuthException $e) {
    error_log($e->getMessage());
    error_log(print_r($oauth->getLastResponse(), true));
    error_log(print_r($oauth->getLastResponseInfo(), true));
    exit;
   }
   

3. I am trying to crate a new listings. First i managed to create a new listing through the api browser on the production. Now, i want to create a new listing through PHP. This is what i did, and it return my error:

This is my code:

$oauth = new OAuth(OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY, OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET,OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1, OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_URI);

$oauth->setToken("key","secret");

try {
 $url = "http://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings";

 $params = array('description' => 'thisisdesc','materials' => 'yes','price'=>"5.99"
 ,'quantity'=>"2",'shipping_template_id'=>"52299",'shop_section_id'=>"1"
 ,'title'=>"thisistitle",'category_id'=>"i_did",'who_made'=>"5.99"
 ,'is_supply'=>"1",'when_made'=>"2010_2012");


 $oauth->fetch($url, $params, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST);
 print_r(json_decode($json, true));

} catch (OAuthException $e) {

 print_r($e);

 error_log($e->getMessage());
 error_log(print_r($oauth->getLastResponse(), true));
 error_log(print_r($oauth->getLastResponseInfo(), true));
 exit;
}

I get the response of:

Invalid auth/bad request (got a 403, expected HTTP/1.1 20X or a redirect) 
This method not accessible to restricted API key. 

Answer 1

Aha, here’s the answer. From an Etsy developer:

Your API was not yet approved for full API access. I’ve fixed that, so you should be able to use those methods now.

Hence, get in touch with the firm, and ask for your key to be approved.
