Daniel,

Thanks for the response. I'd overlooked the fact that an update required a PUT rather than a POST. Although, since I'm doing a batch insert, according the the notes at http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/batch.html I can POST a batch with batch:type of update rather than insert. So I'll probably try that.

Thanks - Phil Meades

Phil, when you say "posting products", do you really mean HTTP POST? Updating items is done via an HTTP PUT request. POST always inserts...

Hello,

I have got the whole process working end-to-end posting products using a batch insert through the API except that each subsequent post creates new repeated items rather than overwriting or updating the ones that are already there.

Each time I run my script it extracts the same sample of 10 products and I am using the unique product reference as the batch:id.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help - Phil Meades
