Below eBay API call always fails and gives an error

Sorry, the start date or end date was missing or invalid date time

    Using this API call, you can fetch records only within 120 days old.

    Your date range is greater than 120 days.You should use Archived flag = true in the api call

    I think the problem is “TimeTo”
    It can’t be now and have to be in the past. When I tried it it was 2 hours. So maybe it have somthing to do with the time zones.

    This is a full working example with the python api showing me the sales of the last 7 days:

        def get_unshipped(self, days_back=7):
        logger.debug("run get_unshipped()")
        date_from   = "{}.000Z".format(datetime.today() - timedelta(days_back))
        date_to     = "{}.000Z".format(datetime.today() - timedelta(minutes=120))
        api = Trading(config_file=os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), CONFIG_FILE), siteid=EBAY_SITE_ID)
        response = api.execute("GetSellingManagerSoldListings",
            {
            "Archived" : "false",
            "SaleDateRange" : {
                "TimeFrom" : str(date_from),
                "TimeTo"   : str(date_to)
                },
            }
        )
        print "sales found:", len(response.dict()["SaleRecord"])
