getInputFile throwing 500 error

Question

    Getting an 500 Internal error while executing a getInputFile API call

Answer

     If there are 500 Internal server errors getting in the response of getInputFile API call, please make sure of two things here.

     First:

     getInputFile API call returns a zip file. This method has no response payload. If the invalid request header "Accept:application/json" will be used in this call, an error is thrown. So the accept header is not required for this call.

     Second:

     If the same taskId will be used for a long time, the 500 Internal server errors are expected.

     So please note that "ebay stores the input files for only 3 days".
