URI parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
feed_typestringThe feed type associated with the tasks being retrieved. The only presently supported value is CUSTOMER_SERVICE_METRICS_REPORT.

Occurrence: Required

look_back_daysintegerThe 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)

Occurrence: Optional

date_rangestringThe 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

Occurrence: Optional

limitintegerThe 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

Occurrence: Optional

offsetintegerThe 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

Occurrence: Optional

Response payload

Response fields

Output container/fieldTypeDescription
hrefstring

The URI of the current page of results.

Occurrence: Always

limitinteger

The value of the limit parameter submitted in the request, which is the maximum number of tasks to return per page, from the result set. A result set is the complete set of tasks returned by the method.

Note: Even though this parameter is not required to be submitted in the request, the parameter defaults to 10 if omitted.

Note: If this is the last or only page of the result set, the page may contain fewer tasks than the limit value. To determine the number of pages in a result set, divide the total value (total number of tasks matching input criteria) by this limit value, and then round up to the next integer. For example, if the total value was 120 (120 total tasks) and the limit value was 50 (show 50 tasks per page), the total number of pages in the result set is three, so the seller would have to make three separate getCustomerServiceMetricTasks calls to view all tasks matching the input criteria.

Occurrence: Always

nextstring

The relative path to the call URI for the next page of results. This value is returned if there is an additional page of results to return from the result set.

Occurrence: Conditional

offsetinteger

The number of results skipped in the result set before returning the first result. This value can be set in the request with the offset query parameter.

Note: The items in a paginated result set use a zero-based list where the first item in the list has an offset of 0.

Occurrence: Always

prevstring

The URI for the previous page of results. This parameter is returned if a previous page of results from the result set exists.

Occurrence: Conditional

tasksarray of ServiceMetricsTask

An array of the customer service tasks on this page. The tasks are sorted by creation date. An empty array is returned if the filter criteria excludes all tasks.

Occurrence: Always

tasks.completionDatestring

The timestamp when the customer service metrics task went into the COMPLETED or COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR state. This field is only returned if the status is one of the two completed values. This state means that eBay has compiled the report for the seller based on the seller’s filter criteria, and the seller can run a getResultFile call to download the report.

Occurrence: Conditional

tasks.creationDatestring

The date the customer service metrics task was created.

Occurrence: Always

tasks.detailHrefstring

The relative getCustomerServiceMetricTask call URI path to retrieve the corresponding task.

Occurrence: Always

tasks.feedTypestring

The feed type associated with the task.

Occurrence: Always

primary(L1) category Id

See ShippingRegionTypeEnum for values
