A destination is an endpoint that receives HTTP push notifications. A single destination for all topics is valid, as is individual destinations for each topic. To update a destination, use the **updateDestination** call. The destination created will need to be referenced while creating or updating a subscription to a topic. **Note:** The destination should be created and ready to respond with the expected **challengeResponse** for the endpoint to be registered successfully. Refer to the [Notification API overview](/api-docs/commerce/notification/overview.html) for more information. **Parameters:** - **Content-Type** (string) *required* - This header indicates the format of the request body provided by the client. Its value should be set to **application/json**. **OAuth scope** This request requires an access token created with the **Client Credentials Grant** flow, using one or more scopes from the following list (please check your Application Keys page for a list of OAuth scopes available to your application): **Required Scopes:** **Client Credentials Grant:** - `https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope` ### getDestination #### GET /destination/{destination_id} **Description:** This method allows applications to fetch the details for a destination.

The public key that is returned in the response payload is used to process and validate eBay notifications. The public key ID, which is a required request parameter for this method, is retrieved from the Base64-encoded **X-EBAY-SIGNATURE** header that is included in the eBay notification. **Important!** The retrieved public key value should be cached for a temporary — but reasonable — amount of time (e.g., one-hour is recommended.) This key should not be requested for every notification since doing so can result in exceeding [API call limits](/develop/apis/api-call-limits) if a large number of notification requests is received. **Note:** For more details about how to process eBay push notifications and validate notification message payloads, see the [Notification API overview](/api-docs/commerce/notification/overview.html). **Parameters:** - **public_key_id** (string) *required* - The unique key ID that is used to retrieve the public key. **Note:** This is retrieved from the **X-EBAY-SIGNATURE** header that is included with the push notification. **OAuth scope** This request requires an access token created with the **Client Credentials Grant** flow, using one or more scopes from the following list (please check your Application Keys page for a list of OAuth scopes available to your application): **Required Scopes:** **Client Credentials Grant:** - `https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope` ### getSubscriptions #### GET /subscription **Description:** This method allows applications to retrieve a list of all subscriptions. The list returned is a paginated collection of subscription resources. Subscriptions allow applications to express interest in notifications and keep receiving the information relevant to their business. **Parameters:** - **continuation_token** (string) - This string value can be used to return the next page in the result set. The string to use here is returned in the next field of the current page of results. - **limit** (string) - The maximum number of subscriptions to return per page from the result set. **Min:** 10 **Max:** 100 **Default:** 20 **OAuth scope** This request requires an access token created with the **Client Credentials Grant** flow, using one or more scopes from the following list (please check your Application Keys page for a list of OAuth scopes available to your application): **Required Scopes:** **Client Credentials Grant:** - `https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope` - `https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.notification.subscription` - `https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.notification.subscription.readonly` ### createSubscription #### POST /subscription **Description:** This method allows applications to create a subscription for a topic and supported schema version. Subscriptions allow applications to express interest in notifications and keep receiving the information relevant to their business. Each application and topic-schema pairing to a subscription should have a 1:1 cardinality. You can create the subscription in disabled mode, test it (see the **test** method), and when everything is ready, you can enable the subscription (see the **enableSubscription** method). **Note:** If an application is not authorized to subscribe to a topic, for example, if your authorization does not include the list of scopes required for the topic, an error code of 195011 is returned. **Parameters:** - **Content-Type** (string) *required* - This header indicates the format of the request body provided by the client.

Filters allow applications to only be sent notifications that match a provided criteria. Notifications that do not match this criteria will not be sent to the destination. The **filterSchema** value must be a valid [JSON Schema Core document]() (version 2020-12 or later). The **filterSchema** provided must describe the subscription's notification payload such that it supplies valid criteria to filter the subscription's notifications. The user does not need to provide `$schema` and `$id` definitions. When a filter is first created, it is not immediately active on the subscription. If the request has a valid JSON body, the successful call returns the HTTP status code **201 Created**. Newly created filters are in `PENDING` status until they are reviewed. If a filter is valid, it will move from `PENDING` status to `ENABLED` status. You can find the status of a filter using the [getSubscriptionFilter](/develop/api/sell/notification_api#sell-notification_api-subscription-getsubscriptionfilter) method. See [Creating a subscription filter for a topic](/api-docs/commerce/notification/overview.html#create-filter) for additional information. **Note:** Only one filter can be in **ENABLED** (which means active) status on a subscription at a time. If an **ENABLED** filter is overwritten by a new call to **CREATE** a filter for the subscription, it stays in **ENABLED** status until the new **PENDING** filter becomes the **ENABLED** filter, and the existing filter then becomes **DISABLED**. **Parameters:** - **Content-Type** (string) *required* - This header indicates the format of the request body provided by the client. Its value should be set to **application/json**. - **subscription_id** (string) *required* - The unique identifier of the subscription for which a filter will be created. **OAuth scope** This request requires an access token created with the **Client Credentials Grant** flow, using one or more scopes from the following list (please check your Application Keys page for a list of OAuth scopes available to your application): **Required Scopes:** **Client Credentials Grant:** - `https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope` - `https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.notification.subscription` ### getSubscription #### GET /subscription/{subscription_id} **Description:** This method allows applications to retrieve subscription details for the specified subscription. Specify the subscription to retrieve using the **subscription\_id**. Use the **getSubscriptions** method to browse all subscriptions if you do not know the **subscription\_id**. Subscriptions allow applications to express interest in notifications and keep receiving the information relevant to their business. **Parameters:** - **subscription_id** (string) *required* - The unique identifier of the subscription to retrieve. Use **getSubscriptions** to retrieve subscription IDs. **OAuth scope** This request requires an access token created with the **Client Credentials Grant** flow, using one or more scopes from the following list (please check your Application Keys page for a list of OAuth scopes available to your application): **Required Scopes:** **Client Credentials Grant:** - `https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope` - `https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.notification.subscription` - `https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.notification.subscription.readonly` ### updateSubscription #### PUT /subscription/{subscription_id} **Description:** This method allows applications to update a subscription. Subscriptions allow applications to express interest in notifications and keep receiving the information relevant to their business. **Note:** This call returns an error if an application is not authorized to subscribe to a topic.
