New Features and Updates

New Method in Marketplace API

On June 18, we updated the method for retrieving information on assembly orders. Now, you can extract data for a specific period, up to a maximum of 30 calendar days. If specific dates are not provided, the system will return data for the last 30 days.

If the request specifies a longer interval, the system will return a 400 error code.

For more details, refer to the API documentation on assembly orders.

Automatic Closure of Shipments for Marketplace API

On June 24, we added automatic closure of shipments. If a shipment is not sent for delivery, it will close automatically upon barcode scanning or upon receipt of the first item.

For more details, refer to the API documentation on shipments.

Status History for Cross-border Assembly Orders

On June 6, a method was added to retrieve status history for cross-border assembly orders.

For more details, refer to the API documentation on assembly orders.

Status Updates for Cross-border Assembly Orders

On June 12, status updates were made for the method retrieving status history for cross-border assembly orders. Statuses containing the fragment onway were replaced with on_way. A new status failed_to_reach_client was added.

For more details, refer to the API documentation on assembly orders.

Changes in Promotion API

On June 20, a new field searchPluseState was added to the method retrieving campaign information for the «Search + Catalog» campaign type, indicating whether fixed phrases for this campaign are active or not.

Additionally, outdated methods will be disabled on July 3:

Descriptions for methods renaming a campaign and changing a campaign bid have been moved to the Promotion section.

New Field in Product Card: Marker for Potential Dimension Inaccuracy

On July 1, a new field isValid was added to the product card, indicating significant discrepancies in product dimensions compared to the average in the category. The field is returned in the dimensions array in responses from the methods for retrieving the list of items and list of items in the trash.

If isValid: false, it is recommended to recheck the product dimensions in centimeters. Logistics and storage charges will continue to be based on the current dimensions, even if isValid: false.

isValid: true does not guarantee the accuracy of the specified dimensions. In certain cases (e.g., when creating a new product category), isValid: true is returned for any values other than zero.

For more details, refer to the content API documentation.

These were all the API updates for June. Stay tuned for news in our monthly column.
