How to fetch metadata of catalogcontent API?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working with SAP Ariba REST API. I want to know how can I fetch metadata of catalogcontent API.

I am referring to this guide:

https://help.sap.com/viewer/ddcb99c9335547ec8657ee998093e00f/cloud/en-US/3bfc8d93382d4ac097e290ceb40...

My request is:

https://sandbox.api.sap.com/ariba/api/catalogcontent/v1/sandbox/items/schema

I am passing API key in headers.

I am following exact steps mentioned in the guide. I am getting following response:

{  "error": "row_not_found",  "description": "No data found for resource [items], id [schema] for ApiType [catalogcontent], Version [v1] not defined!"}

Can anybody help me here?

Regards,

Hi amit_gawali,

The URL specified in the developer portal is different from the one you are using in your request. You should use the one specified in the developer portal -> https://openapi.ariba.com/api/catalogcontent/v1/sandbox.

Hi ajmaradiaga

I have AU specific tenant with me and my sandbox URL is as below:

https://openapi.au.cloud.ariba.com/api/catalogcontent/v1/sandbox/items/schema

I have created an app having catalogcontent API access to it and and passing the same apikey as headers but I am still getting same response as mentioned in question.

The URL which you mentioned is I guess US specific tenant sandbox which I cannot access. You can try yourself at your end and let me know if you can receive good response from that API. I suspect that this API is no longer maintained.

Please advise.

Hi amit_gawali,

The API was recently introduced and is maintained. Saying that, you are correct.... when testing the /items/schema endpoint against the sandbox environment I get the same error as you. The good news is that I managed to get it working.... it seems that the endpoint only works when calling it using the prod endpoint.

I tested, with an approved application and in the US environment, the /items/schema endpoint against the production endpoint (https://openapi.ariba.com/api/catalogcontent/v1/prod) and I get the attached response -> items-schema-response.txt. Which is similar to the response that is available in the help documentation. It should work in the AU prod environment as well.

Example curl command:

curl --location --request GET 'https://openapi.ariba.com/api/catalogcontent/v1/prod/items/schema' \
--header 'realm: myrealm-T' \
--header 'apiKey: W2ggKLdfXHWCCnnr2qIlSAMPLE' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 9f5514ed-dddd-eeee-ffff-c5e598a6cb94' \

Hi ajmaradiaga

Thanks for update. So there is no way that we can work with this API through sandbox environment?

Hi amit_gawali,

I understand that it can be frustrating that the sandbox environment is not working. Saying that, the sandbox environment will return dummy data and the response will be no different than what is included in the help documentation. You can mock the call to the sandbox environment and use the sample response included in docs.
