create stock item

[WILLIAM GREENE]

Hi, I'm making great progress but am stuck trying to create a stock item. The code is below. It enters perfectly except it shows as Non-Stock. When I use the api to get the product details it shows catalog_item_type as  {"id": "PRODUCT","displayed_as": "Non-stock","$path": "/catalog_item_types/PRODUCT"} Do I need to add some more info? Other stock items which I entered manually show as {"id": "STOCK_ITEM","displayed_as": "Stock","$path": "/catalog_item_types/STOCK_ITEM"}

Many thanks, Bill

Hi Bill,

You need to use the stock_items API to create a stock_item. The products API will return stock_items but it cannot create or modify them.

My goodness, that's incredible support! I just went off for a quick sandwich, come back and the answer is there.

Many thanks, Bill
