Create and manage vintage-goods listings with Etsy Open API v3

Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Register an app in the Etsy Developer portal to get a keystring (API key) and shared secret
Implement OAuth2 Authorization Code flow with PKCE to get a scoped access token (listings_r, listings_w, listings_d) - access tokens expire in 1 hour, refresh tokens last 90 days
Send the x-api-key header AND the OAuth access token on every authenticated request
Create a draft listing, then use the Inventory endpoints to attach SKUs/variations (size, material) before activating it
Sync sold orders through the Shop Receipts endpoints and update shipment tracking
Known gotchas
PKCE is mandatory - there is no legacy OAuth1 fallback anymore
Vintage category listings are validated against Etsy's 20-years-or-older policy at creation time, not just in seller-facing docs
Refresh tokens must be rotated within 90 days or the integration silently stops working
