I’m trying to get UPC of item returned by GetSellerList
call using eBay Trading API.
I’m able to successfully execute the API call using this code:
public void getSellerItemsList() throws ApiException, SdkException, Exception
{
String EBayProfile = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
String sellerID = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
ApiContext apiContext = getAPIContext(EBayProfile);
GetSellerListCall getSellerList = new GetSellerListCall ();
getSellerList.setApiContext(apiContext);
DetailLevelCodeType[] detailLevelCodeType = new DetailLevelCodeType[1];
detailLevelCodeType[0] = DetailLevelCodeType.RETURN_ALL;
getSellerList.setDetailLevel(detailLevelCodeType);
Calendar fromTime = Calendar.getInstance();
fromTime.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -3);
Calendar toTime = Calendar.getInstance();
toTime.setTime(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
TimeFilter startTimeFilter = new TimeFilter(fromTime, toTime);
getSellerList.setStartTimeFilter(startTimeFilter);
getSellerList.setUserID(sellerID);
getSellerList.setEnableCompression(true);
WarningLevelCodeType warningLevel = WarningLevelCodeType.HIGH;
getSellerList.setWarningLevel(warningLevel);
PaginationType paginationType = new PaginationType();
paginationType.setEntriesPerPage(199);
paginationType.setPageNumber(1);
ItemType[] items = getSellerList.getEntireSellerList();
for (ItemType item : items) {
System.out.println("nTitle: " + item.getTitle());
// For some reason this value is always equal to null (never prints)
if (item.getAttributeArray() != null) {
AttributeArrayType attributeType = item.getAttributeArray();
System.out.println("Attributes length: " + attributeType.getAttributeLength());
}
// For some reason this value is always equal to null (never prints)
if (item.getProductListingDetails() != null) {
UPC = item.getProductListingDetails().getUPC();
System.out.println("UPC: " + UPC);
}
// For some reason this value is always equal to null (never prints)
if (item.getVariations() != null) {
VariationsType itemVariations = item.getVariations();
for (int x = 0; x < itemVariations.getVariationLength(); x++) {
VariationType variation = itemVariations.getVariation(x);
VariationProductListingDetailsType variationListingDetails = variation.getVariationProductListingDetails();
UPC = variationListingDetails.getUPC(); // UPC always missing
}
}
// For some reason this value is always equal to null (never prints)
if (item.getItemSpecifics() != null) {
NameValueListArrayType itemSpecifics = item.getItemSpecifics();
NameValueListType[] nameValueList = itemSpecifics.getNameValueList();
}
}
}
}
Call executes successfully but the UPC is empty (no matter where I try to extract it from, as seen in previous code).
eBay Docs clearly state this call returns UPC.
What am I doing wrong?

GetSellerList not includes the item specifics.
You have to use eBay shopping API call- GetSingleItem with IncludeSelector – ItemSpecifics to get UPC for each item in GetSellerList result
https://developer.ebay.com/devzone/shopping/docs/callref/getsingleitem.html
But the Trading API’s GetItem is not shared for all users. You can see only your own items
For MPN you can try a call like this "http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?callname=GetSingleItem&IncludeSelector=ItemSpecifics&responseencoding=XML&appid=XXXX&siteid=0&version=967&ItemID=111111111111".
It still works no matter what
