  • deleteSubscriptionFilter: This method allows applications to disable an active filter on a subscription.

Full details on the release (e.g., This release includes new API endpoints for product search, allowing developers to easily query product data.).

1.2.0

The following changes have been made in this release.

This release adds the following new OAuth authorization code scopes to the subscription resource in order to support user-based subscriptions

https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.notification.subscription

https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.notification.subscription.readonly

These new scopes enable the creation of user-based subscriptions to notification topics using the authorization code grant flow. When creating user-based subscriptions, the new scopes must be included when the OAuth token is minted.

Similarly, when retrieving subscriptions using the getSubscription or getSubscriptions method, the appropriate scopes must be included in the OAuth token in order to view application-based (using the client credentials grant flow) or user-based (using the authorization code grant flow) subscriptions for a topic.

Tip: See the Notification overview page for more information about how subscription services work.
