shopify api creates product returns 404

3 Views

I’m creating a private app that calls the Shopify API from WordPress. When I make the call to create a new Shopify product, the API creates the product but returns a 404 Not Found error. I believe I have the code correct because it successfully creates the product and the appropriate success response on a local host on a Windows XP box running apache and PHP 5.2.x. I have the problem when I run it from a development server running, I assume, Linux, apache and PHP 5.3.x. What would cause the Shopify API to create the product but return a 404? I’ll include a log of the call and response below. This post did successfully create a product but since it returned an error, I wasn’t able to retrieve the newly created product id.

Thanks,
Steve

Sorry to dump so much content in here but here are new logs for June 13. The first call successfully created the Shopify product “Office Ring 1” but return an error message. I then manually added the shopify id to my local product and then successfully added a variant, “medium,” but that also returned an error message. These were from a web farm nix server. Then I ran the same set of requests from the local web server on my Windows laptop. These requests also successfully created the product “Home Ring 1” but returned appropriate success messages.

  1. The logs for that request say that you were calling POST "/admin/products/PRODUCT_ID". Check your code to make sure it’s doing what you think. Note that all API calls should have a type suffix, so a valid URL would be /admin/products/PRODUCT_ID.json or /admin/products/PRODUCT_ID.xml
