EBay API: getMostWatchedItems returning RequestError

Based on the API documentation of EBay:
https://developer.ebay.com/devzone/merchandising/docs/CallRef/getMostWatchedItems.html

I made the following call:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<getMostWatchedItems xmlns="http://www.ebay.com/marketplace/services">
  <maxResults>3</maxResults>
</getMostWatchedItems>

With the following headers:

X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL 967
X-EBAY-API-CALL-NAME getMostWatchedItems
X-EBAY-API-SITEID 15
Content-Type text/xml

But it returns the following response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<eBay>
    <EBayTime>2018-11-09 03:20:27</EBayTime>
    <Errors>
        <Error>
            <Code>2</Code>
            <ErrorClass>RequestError</ErrorClass>
            <SeverityCode>1</SeverityCode>
            <Severity>SeriousError</Severity>
            <Line>0</Line>
            <Column>0</Column>
            <ShortMessage>
                <![CDATA[ Unsupported verb. ]]>
            </ShortMessage>
        </Error>
    </Errors>
</eBay>

Does anyone encounter the same issue? Thanks for the help.

    It appears that getMostWatchedItems is not supported by the 967 version of the eBay API.

    You’re not using the correct headers. Your headers look like they’re for the Shopping API, which this call (gMWI) is not part of.

    For 1 thing, you don’t use SiteID in gMWI. You use Global IDs.

    Have a look at this Merchandising API tutorial, especially the Standard Headers section.
