PSWebServiceLibrary add product error on PrestaShop 1.6.1.17

[Kamad]

Hi,
I have an error during add product by webservice
 

My php sample code is:

 

{...}

 

    $webService = new PrestaShopWebservice(PS_SHOP_PATH, PS_WS_AUTH_KEY, DEBUG);
    
    $xml = $webService->get(array('url' => PS_SHOP_PATH.'/api/products?schema=blank'));
    $product = $xml->children()->children();
    
    

    $product->id_manufacturer ='1';
    $product->id_supplier ='1';
    $product->id_category_default ='1';
    $product->reference = 'test_abc';
    $product->name = 'test_abc_name';    
    $product->link_rewrite->language[0] = 'test_abc_name2';
    $product->link_rewrite->language[1] = 'test_abc_name2';
 

    $xml = $webService->add(array('resource' => 'products', 'postXml' => $xml->asXML()));
    echo "Successfully added.";

 

{...}

        }

        return true;
    }

Hi

 

My Experience with prestashop Web API showed that we cannot use it in production: too many issues have to be solved .

So the best way to import & update  products is to do direct sql calls to database.

yes is very strange when... I defined other values just worked - ofcourse values not associated with link_rewrite
