Problem with uploading product

[Kassa]

I'm trying to upload a new product using exsisting data. It basically is a copy of one product but with a new barcode and SKU. When I upload the file using post it just doesnt upload.. Do I need to make more changes to the file before I can use it as a new product?

Hi!|Could you tell, please, you use import feature or API to add items?

[Kassa]

Hi! I use the API. It is a python script that uses POST to upload the new item

Please show example request url, request json and response json.

import requests

 

productid='placeholder'

url = 'https://api.loyverse.com/v1.0/items/'

headers = {'Authorization' : 'Bearer placeholder'}

newean = '99999999' 

 

json_obj = requests.get(url+productid, headers=headers).json()

 

json_obj['id'] = ''

json_obj['variants'][0]['variant_id'] = ''

json_obj['variants'][0]['sku'] = newean

json_obj['variants'][0]['barcode'] = newean

 

r = requests.post(url,json=json_obj,headers=headers)

 

---------------------------------

I use the json i recieve from the API. I just edit a few entries and then reupload it.

the id and the variant_id I leave empty so it will become a new product

[Jay Rock]

I tried to send your request, and receive response:

{

"errors": [

{

"code": "INVALID_VALUE_TYPE",

"details": "The value must be an UUID",

"field": "object.id (line: 2, column: 11)"

}

]

}

 

 

if you have the same error, you should send

"id": null

instead "id": ""

Looks like empty value Loyverse recognize as uuid
