GET/location

This call retrieves all defined details for every inventory location associated with the seller's account. There are no required parameters for this call and no request payload. However, there are two optional query parameters, limit and offset. The limit query parameter sets the maximum number of inventory locations returned on one page of data, and the offset query parameter specifies the page of data to return. These query parameters are discussed more in the URI parameters table below.

The authorization HTTP header is the only required request header for this call.

A successful call will return an HTTP status value of 200 OK.

Input

Resource URI

GET https://api.ebay.com/sell/inventory/v1/location?

URI parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
offsetintegerSpecifies the number of locations to skip in the result set before returning the first location 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

limitintegerThe value passed in this query parameter sets the maximum number of records to return per page of data. Although this field is a string, the value passed in this field should be a positive integer value. If this query parameter is not set, up to 100 records will be returned on each page of results.
