Receive notifications

Some events occur on MercadoLibre's side and notifications are the only way to become aware of them. Receiving notifications enables you to have a real-time feed of the changes that occur on the different resources of our API. For example, if you listed an item that was then paused, if someone asked a question, if they bought an item, or even if they paid it and/or requested shipment. An efficient way with no need to continuously query our API!


Subscribe to notifications

If you want to start receiving notifications you need to login and access to My Applications, where you created your application at first, edit details and specific the topics that you will receive. If you haven't created your app yet, you can do it now.



Notifications Callback URL : configure the public URL of your domain where you want to receive notifications for the different topics. For example: “http://myshoes-app.com/callbacks”.

Topics: select among different topics to receive their notifications.

Nota:
- Topics created_orders, payments and messaging are not user for real state, vehicles and services.
- Notifications have UTC time zone.

user products families: You will receive notifications when they are modified families of user_product, by modifying attributes that impact this.


What events trigger notifications?

Bear in mind that any change to any topic of the Json will trigger the relevant notifications. You should always see the notifications and immediately query the relevant resource to check whether there is a change with its application. These changes may come from other sources, such as action via front, Seller Central, or other applications, etc.


Important Considerations

Importante:
Update your integration to return an HTTP 200 within 500 milliseconds of receiving the notification and prevent us from deactivating the topics of your notifications. Otherwise, you will have to subscribe again to the topics.
  • We will send a POST to the callback URL and your application must confirm the correct reception using an HTTP 200. Otherwise, the message will be considered as "not received" and there will be a new attempt to send it.
  • The messages will be sent and the sending attempts will be made within a 1 hour interval. After this period, messages that were not accepted will be excluded.
  • You may get a large number of notifications, it is advisable to work with rows, in which the server should immediately confirm notification receipt (HTTP 200) and query the topic in the API to avoid new notification attempts and duplicated notifications.
  • Some events are not visible for integrators that trigger notifications.


Get the details

After receiving a notification of one topic, you’ll need to make a GET to the resource to get the details and then, if you stored the previous Json, compare both.

Filter by topic

There is the possibility of filtering by topic, it is very useful for when you have a large number of notifications.

Call:

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/missed_feeds?app_id=$APP_ID&topic=$TOPIC

Example:

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/missed_feeds?app_id=3486171129139063&topic=payments
Note:
Bear in mind that 10 notices will be displayed by default, but you can use LIMIT and OFFSET to change the number that you want to receive, as shown below:
curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/missed_feeds?app_id=$APP_ID&offset=1&limit=5
