Supplier Rates Import API

1. Introduction

The Supplier Rates Import API can be used to programmatically create and activate a Supplier Price List Range for an existing Supplier Price List with a collection of the Price List Items describing the Price for a certain Country and Operator combination.

This API belongs to the Bulk Price List domain. The subject domain of an endpoint URL is:

https://api{separator}{platform_domain}/bulk/pricelists

Note: A domain is presented with placeholders as https://api{separator}{platform_domain}, where {separator} can be a dot (.) or a hyphen (-). Please, replace it with your actual platform domain name.

The API uses the HORISEN implementation of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. For more information refer to the OAuth2 Authentication Guidelines page.

3. Methods Details

POST/sms/buying/{plId}/ranges-import
Adds a Gate Price List Range and Items.Up
Method Overview

The method is used to add a Gate Price List Range and Items.

A fully valid request will create a new Date Range with given status if all Price List items are valid. A reason for non-valid items can be, that a country/operator combination is not valid. In that case, the endpoint returns a 409 Status Code with a full object including error message for invalid items.

To create a Date Range even with not having 100% valid items, but at least one, you can add a query parameter importOnlyIfAllValid=false (default for an omitted parameter is true). In that case, the endpoint returns a 201 Status Code with a full object, including error message for invalid (not created) items.

URL Parameters
Name Type Description
plid (required) string (path) Gate Price List ID to get.
importOnlyIfAllValid stringĀ (query) Only when all items are valid, a new range will be created. If there is one not valid item, no new range will be created and 409 status will be returned with input object enriched with comments about items (warnings and errors).
If set to false, all valid items (at least one) will be imported and new range created. 201 status will be returned with input object enriched with comments about items (warnings and errors). Those items with errors are not imported! If there are no valid items, no new range will be created. And 409 status will be returned with input object enriched with comments about items (warnings and errors).
Default value: true.
post data (required) object The status can be either imported or omitted. The 'startDate' variable has the following format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ and 'endDate' is set automatically to unlimited. 'comment' and 'importReport' can be omitted.

4. Questions and Answers

Q: "...As I understand this API should be used to upload rates per supplier. I don't see option to specify the supplier ID / Name that should match suppliers already in your platform. There is also no place for currency of the rate. "

A: You don't need to specify both parameters, as the import is done in a previously via UI created Supplier Price List (in Bulk App, under Rates Manager/Suppliers/SMS Gate Price List).
This defines Supplier and Currency of Price List, you then can import rates and create a new date range from them.
(Explications on how Rates Manager and Date Ranges Management in Application work are available in our User Guides).

You can get the needed PLID (Price List ID) you need by going to Rates Manager/Suppliers/SMS Gate Price List in your Bulk SMS Application.

Once there you need to open the price list column link. You will see an URL like this:

/en/rates-manager/suppliers/pricelist/{PLID}/range?main:paging=1,10
