DELETE

/schedule/{schedule_id}

This method deletes an existing schedule. Specify the schedule to delete using the schedule_id path parameter.

  • schedule_id (path, required) — The schedule_id of the schedule to delete. This ID was generated when the task was created. If you do not know the schedule_id, use the getSchedules method to return all schedules based on a specified feed_type and find the schedule_id of the schedule to delete.
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 .

  • schedule_id (path, required) — The ID of the schedule for which to retrieve the details. This ID is generated when the schedule was created by the createSchedule method.
GET

/customer_service_metric_task

Use this method to return an array of customer service metric tasks. You can limit the tasks returned by specifying a date range. Note: You can pass in either the look_back_days or date_range , but not both.

  • date_range (query) — The task creation date range. The results are filtered to include only tasks with a creation date that is equal to the dates specified or is within the specified range. Do not use with the look_back_days parameter. Format: UTC For example, tasks within a range: yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.SSSZ..yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.SSSZ Tasks created on March 8, 2020 2020-03-08T00:00.00.000Z..2020-03-09T00:00:00.000Z Maximum: 90 days
  • feed_type (query) — The feed type associated with the task. The only presently supported value is CUSTOMER_SERVICE_METRICS_REPORT .
  • limit (query, limit) — The number of customer service metric tasks to return per page of the result set. Use this parameter in conjunction with the offset parameter to control the pagination of the output. For example, if offset is set to 10 and limit is set to 10, the call retrieves tasks 11 thru 20 from the result set. If this parameter is omitted, the default value is used. Note: This feature employs a zero-based list, where the first item in the list has an offset of 0 . Default: 10 Maximum: 500
  • look_back_days (query) — The number of previous days in which to search for tasks. Do not use with the date_range parameter. If both date_range and look_back_days are omitted, this parameter's default value is used. Default value: 7 Range: 1-90 (inclusive)
  • offset (query, offset) — The number of customer service metric tasks to skip in the result set before returning the first task in the paginated response. Combine offset with the limit query parameter to control the items returned in the response. For example, if you supply an offset of 0 and a limit of 10 , the first page of the response contains the first 10 items from the complete list of items retrieved by the call. If offset is 10 and limit is 20 , the first page of the response contains items 11-30 from the complete result set. Default: 0
POST

/customer_service_metric_task

Use this method to create a customer service metrics download task with filter criteria for the customer service metrics report. When using this method, specify the feedType and filterCriteria including both evaluationMarketplaceId and customerServiceMetricType for the 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.

  • accept-language (header, required) — Use this header to specify the natural language in which the authenticated user desires the response.
GET

/customer_service_metric_task/{task_id}

Schedules apply to downloaded reports ( LMS_ACTIVE_INVENTORY_REPORT ). Either schedule_id or feed_type is required. Do not use with the feed_type parameter.
  • look_back_days (query) — The number of previous days in which to search for tasks. Do not use with the date_range parameter. If both date_range and look_back_days are omitted, this parameter's default value is used. Default: 7 Range: 1-90 (inclusive)
