order_task
| Method | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GET | /order_task | This method returns the details and status for an array of order tasks based on a specified feed_type or schedule_id. Specifying both feed_type and schedule_id results in an error. Since schedules are based on feed types, you can specify a schedule (schedule_id) that returns the needed feed_type.If specifying the feed_type, limit which order tasks are returned by specifying filters such as the creation date range or period of time using look_back_days. If specifying a schedule_id, the schedule template (that the schedule_id is based on) determines which order tasks are returned (see schedule_id for additional information). Each schedule_id applies to one feed_type. |
| POST | /order_task | This method creates an order download task with filter criteria for the order report. When using this method, specify the feedType, schemaVersion, and filterCriteria for the report. The method returns the location response header containing the getOrderTask call URI to retrieve the order task you just created. The URL includes the eBay-assigned task ID, which you can use to reference the order task. To retrieve the status of the task, use the getOrderTask method to retrieve a single task ID or the getOrderTasks method to retrieve multiple order task IDs. Note: The scope depends on the feed type. An error message results when an unsupported scope or feed type is specified.The following list contains this method's authorization scope and its corresponding feed type:https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.fulfillment: LMS_ORDER_REPORT For details about how this method is used, see General feed types in the Selling Integration Guide. Note: At this time, the createOrderTask method only supports order creation date filters and not modified order date filters. Do not include the modifiedDateRange filter in your request payload. |
| GET | /order_task/{task_id} | This method retrieves the task details and status of the specified task. The input is task_id. For details about how this method is used, see Working with Order Feeds in the Selling Integration Guide. |

schedule
| Method | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GET | /schedule | This method retrieves an array containing the details and status of all schedules based on the specified feed_type. Use this method to find a schedule if you do not know the schedule_id. |
| POST | /schedule | This method creates a schedule, which is a subscription to the specified schedule template. A schedule periodically generates a report for the feedType specified by the template. Specify the same feedType as the feedType of the associated schedule template. When creating the schedule, if available from the template, you can specify a preferred trigger hour, day of the week, or day of the month. These and other fields are conditionally available as specified by the template. Note: Make sure to include all fields required by the schedule template (scheduleTemplateId). Call the getScheduleTemplate method (or the getScheduleTemplates method), to find out which fields are required or optional. If a field is optional and a default value is provided by the template, the default value will be used if omitted from the payload.A successful call returns the location response header containing the getSchedule call URI to retrieve the schedule you just created. The URL includes the eBay-assigned schedule ID, which you can use to reference the schedule task. To retrieve the details of the create schedule task, use the getSchedule method for a single schedule ID or the getSchedules method to retrieve all schedule details for the specified feed_type. The number of schedules for each feedType is limited. Error code 160031 is returned when you have reached this maximum. Note: Except for schedules with a HALF-HOUR frequency, all schedules will ideally run at the start of each hour ('00' minutes). Actual start time may vary time may vary due to load and other factors. |
| GET | /schedule/{schedule_id} | This method retrieves schedule details and status of the specified schedule. Specify the schedule to retrieve using the schedule_id. Use the getSchedules method to find a schedule if you do not know the schedule_id. |
| PUT | /schedule/{schedule_id} | This method updates an existing schedule. Specify the schedule to update using the schedule_id path parameter. If the schedule template has changed after the schedule was created or updated, the input will be validated using the changed template.

task
| Method | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GET | /task | This method returns the details and status for an array of tasks based on a specified feed_type or schedule_id. Specifying both feed_type and schedule_id results in an error. Since schedules are based on feed types, you can specify a schedule (schedule_id) that returns the needed feed_type.If specifying the feed_type, limit which tasks are returned by specifying filters, such as the creation date range or period of time using look_back_days. Also, by specifying the feed_type, both on-demand and scheduled reports are returned.If specifying a schedule_id, the schedule template (that the schedule ID is based on) determines which tasks are returned (see schedule_id for additional information). Each scheduledId applies to one feed_type. |
| POST | /task | This method creates an upload task or a download task without filter criteria. When using this method, specify the feedType and the feed file schemaVersion. The feed type specified sets the task as a download or an upload task. For details about the upload and download flows, see Working with Order Feeds in the Selling Integration Guide. Note: The scope depends on the feed type. An error message results when an unsupported scope or feed type is specified.The following list contains this method's authorization scopes and their corresponding feed types:https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.inventory: See LMS FeedTypeshttps://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.fulfillment: LMS_ORDER_ACK (specify for upload tasks).

| GET | /task/{task_id}/download_result_file | This method retrieves the generated file that is associated with the specified task ID. The response of this call is a compressed or uncompressed CSV, XML, or JSON file, with the applicable file extension (for example: csv.gz). For details about how this method is used, see Working with Order Feeds in the Selling Integration Guide. Note: The status of the task to retrieve must be in the COMPLETED or COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR state before this method can retrieve the file. You can use the getTask or getTasks method to retrieve the status of the task. |
| GET | /task/{task_id} | This method retrieves the details and status of the specified task. The input is task_id. For details of how this method is used, see Working with Order Feeds in the Selling Integration Guide. |
| POST | /task/{task_id}/upload_file | This method associates the specified file with the specified task ID and uploads the input file. After the file has been uploaded, the processing of the file begins. Reports often take time to generate and it's common for this method to return an HTTP status of 202, which indicates the report is being generated. Use the getTask with the task ID or getTasks to determine the status of a report. The status flow is QUEUED > IN_PROCESS > COMPLETED or COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR. When the status is COMPLETED or COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR, this indicates the file has been processed and the order report can be downloaded. If there are errors, they will be indicated in the report file. For details of how this method is used in the upload flow, see Working with Order Feeds in the Selling Integration Guide. This call does not have a JSON Request payload but uploads the file as form-data. For example: fileName: "AddFixedPriceItem_Macbook.xml" name: "file" type: "form-data" file: @"/C:/Users/.../AddFixedPriceItem_Macbook.7z"See Samples for information.Note: This method applies to all Seller Hub feed types, and to all LMS feed types except LMS_ORDER_REPORT and LMS_ACTIVE_INVENTORY_REPORT.

The method returns the location response header containing the call URI to use with getCustomerServiceMetricTask to retrieve status and details on the task.Only CURRENT Customer Service Metrics reports can be generated with the Sell Feed API. PROJECTED reports are not supported at this time. See the getCustomerServiceMetric method document in the Analytics API for more information about these two types of reports.Note: Before calling this API, retrieve the summary of the seller's performance and rating for the customer service metric by calling getCustomerServiceMetric (part of the Analytics API). You can then populate the create task request fields with the values from the response. This technique eliminates failed tasks that request a report for a customerServiceMetricType and evaluationMarketplaceId that are without evaluation. |
| GET | /customer_service_metric_task/{task_id} | Use this method to retrieve customer service metric task details for the specified task. The input is task_id. |
