Note: The GetPromotionalSaleDetails call is being deprecated. No new features and/or fields will be added to GetPromotionalSaleDetails, and it will no longer be supported after March 31, 2021. eBay recommends that sellers use the Marketing API, which provides all Promotions Manager capabilities. The Marketing API will continue to be improved and enhanced as more marketing features become available to sellers. |
Use this call to retrieve information about promotional sales set up by an eBay store owner (the authenticated caller). Promotional sales are discounts that eBay store owners apply to items listed in their stores. This call is part of the Promotional Price Display feature, which enables sellers to apply discounts across many listings.
If you do not specify a PromotionalSaleID value in the request, GetPromotionalSaleDetails returns all promotional sales for the authenticated user. Promotional sales apply regular fixed-price format, auction, and auction/BIN formats. Auction and auction/BIN format listings can include only free shipping as a promotional discount.
You can test this call in the Sandbox environment. However, you (or the test user) must be a registered store owner to use this call.

Argument | Type | Occurrence | Meaning |
---|
Call-specific Input Fields [Jump to standard fields] |
PromotionalSaleID | long | Optional |
The unique identifier of the promotional sale to retrieve. This field is used if the eBay store owner only wants to retrieve a specific promotional sale. Any PromotionalSaleStatus fields that are included will be ignored if the PromotionalSaleID field is used. If neither the PromotionalSaleID nor a PromotionalSaleStatus field is used, then all promotional sales for the eBay store owner are returned. |
PromotionalSaleStatus | PromotionalSaleStatusCodeType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
One or more PromotionalSaleStatus fields are used if the eBay store owner wants to retrieve promotional sales in a specific state, such as Active , Scheduled , or Deleted . A PromotionalSaleStatus field is included for each status. See PromotionalSaleStatusCodeType for a description of the status values that can be used in this field. If neither the PromotionalSaleID nor a PromotionalSaleStatus field is used, then all promotional sales for the eBay store owner are returned. Applicable values: See PromotionalSaleStatus. |
Standard Input Fields |
ErrorLanguage | string | Optional |
Use ErrorLanguage to return error strings for the call in a different language from the language commonly associated with the site that the requesting user is registered with. Below are some examples from different countries.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
MessageID | string | Optional |
Most Trading API calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass in a MessageID in a request, the same value will be returned in the CorrelationID field in the response. Pairing these values can help you track and confirm that a response is returned for every request and to match specific responses to specific requests. If you do not pass a MessageID value in the request, CorrelationID is not returned. Note: GetCategories is designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Version | string | Conditional |
The version number of the API code that you are programming against (e.g., 1149). The version you specify for a call has these basic effects:
For the SOAP API: If you are using the SOAP API, this field is required. Specify the version of the WSDL your application is using. For the XML API: If you are using the XML API, this field has no effect. Instead, specify the version in the X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL HTTP header. (If you specify Version in the body of an XML API request and it is different from the value in the HTTP header, eBay returns an informational warning that the value in the HTTP header was used instead.) See:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
WarningLevel | WarningLevelCodeType | Optional |
Controls whether or not to return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request. An unrecognized element is one that is not defined in any supported version of the schema. Schema element names are case-sensitive, so using WarningLevel can also help you remove any potential hidden bugs within your application due to incorrect case or spelling in field names before you put your application into the Production environment. WarningLevel only validates elements; it doesn't validate XML attributes. It also doesn't control warnings related to user-entered strings or numbers, or warnings for logical errors. We recommend that you only use this during development and debugging. Do not use this in requests performed in the Production environment. Applicable values: High if the user wishes to receive warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in an API call request. Setting the WarningLevel value to High is not recommended in a production environment. Instead, it should only be used during the development/debugging stage.Low if the user does not wish to receive warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in an API call request. This is the default value if WarningLevel is not specified in the call request.See Warning Level. |

A token representing the application-level acknowledgement code that indicates the response status (e.g., success). The AckCodeType list specifies the possible values for the Ack field.
Applicable values: (Not all values in AckCodeType apply to this field.) Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list. |
Build | string | Always | This refers to the specific software build that eBay used when processing the request and generating the response. This includes the version number plus additional information. eBay Developer Support may request the build information when helping you resolve technical issues. |
CorrelationID | string | Conditionally |
Most Trading API calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass in a MessageID in a request, the same value will be returned in the CorrelationID field in the response. Pairing these values can help you track and confirm that a response is returned for every request and to match specific responses to specific requests. If you do not pass a MessageID value in the request, CorrelationID is not returned. Note: GetCategories is designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable. |

repeatable: [0..*] |
A list of application-level errors (if any) that occurred when eBay processed the request.
See Error Handling. |

Errors.ErrorCode | token | Conditionally | A unique code that identifies the particular error condition that occurred. Your application can use error codes as identifiers in your customized error-handling algorithms. See the "Errors by Number" document. |
Errors.ErrorParameters | ErrorParameterType | Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] |
This optional element carries a list of context-specific error variables that indicate details about the error condition. These are useful when multiple instances of ErrorType are returned. |
Errors.ErrorParameters [ attribute ParamID ] |
string | Conditionally | This optional element carries a list of context-specific error variables that indicate details about the error condition. These are useful when multiple instances of ErrorType are returned. |
Errors.ErrorParameters.Value | string | Conditionally | This is the value of the request parameter noted in the ParamID attribute. So, if the ParamID value was ItemID, the value in this field would be the actual value of that ItemID. |
Errors.LongMessage | string | Conditionally | A more detailed description of the condition that raised the error. |
Errors.SeverityCode | SeverityCodeType | Conditionally |
Indicates whether the error is a severe error (causing the request to fail) or an informational error (a warning) that should be communicated to the user.
Applicable values: If the source of the problem is within the application (such as a missing required element), change the application before you retry the request.
See the Compatible Application Check section of the eBay Features Guide for more information. When a warning occurs, the error is returned in addition to the business data. In this case, you do not need to retry the request (as the original request was successful). However, depending on the cause or nature of the warning, you might need to contact either the end user or eBay to effect a long term solution to the problem to prevent it from reoccurring in the future. Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list. |
Errors.ShortMessage | string | Conditionally | A brief description of the condition that raised the error. |
HardExpirationWarning | string | Conditionally | Expiration date of the user's authentication token. Only returned within the 7-day period prior to a token's expiration. To ensure that user authentication tokens are secure and to help avoid a user's token being compromised, tokens have a limited life span. A token is only valid for a period of time (set by eBay). After this amount of time has passed, the token expires and must be replaced with a new token. |
Timestamp | dateTime | Always |
This value represents the date and time when eBay processed the request. The time zone of this value is GMT and the format is the ISO 8601 date and time format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ). See the Time Values section in the eBay Features Guide for information about this time format and converting to and from the GMT time zone. Note: GetCategories and other Trading API calls are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, this time value reflects the time the cached response was created. Thus, this value is not necessarily when the request was processed. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, this time value does reflect when the request was processed. |
Version | string | Always | The version of the response payload schema. Indicates the version of the schema that eBay used to process the request. See the Standard Data for All Calls section in the eBay Features Guide for information on using the response version when troubleshooting CustomCode values that appear in the response. |
