Sandbox: have a buyer ask a question

POST/v1/sandbox/questions

scope questions.writesandbox only — 404 in production

Sandbox only. published_by_sandbox is true when auto-publish is off and we published the question anyway so you have something readable to integrate against.

Request body#

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
product_idintegeroptionalWhich of your listings is asked about. Send this or external_id. Public questions must be enabled on the marketplace, or the call returns questions_disabled (404).
external_idstringoptionalThe same choice by your own product id.
textstringoptionalWhat is asked. Defaults to "What size is this?" if omitted or blank. Answer it with POST /v1/questions/{id}/answer.

Example

{
    "product_id": 237233,
    "text": "What frame size is this?"
}

Response#

FieldTypeDescription
dataobjectThe question that was asked.
data.question_idintegerThe question id, for POST /v1/questions/{id}/answer.
data.product_idintegerWhich of your listings it is about.
data.textstringWhat was asked.
data.statusstringIts moderation state. Normally published.
data.published_by_sandboxbooleantrue means the sandbox published it directly because moderation would otherwise have left it pending — so there is something to answer without waiting on a human who does not exist here.

Example

{
    "data": {
        "question_id": 31,
        "product_id": 237233,
        "text": "What frame size is this?",
        "status": "published",
        "published_by_sandbox": false
    }
}

Failures use the shared error envelope — a machine-readable code and a request_id to quote to support. Error handling.
