Webservice API: Unable to assign category and supplier when adding product

[tobiaseriksson]

Hi 

 I am trying to add products using the Webservice API

BUT I am lost, I am unable to properly set the category and the supplier

I did a GET to see how the XML looked like, then I took some of the important TAGs and filled them with information.

 What I am posting looks like this, see below, and it works fine to add the product, it is just that it does not have a category nor a supplier.

 The category ID and supplier ID exists, and are correct, and should I do the reverse and assign it inside the UI/Website it looks just like this.

 

 So what am I doing wrong here ?

I figured out how to set the category

basically set the category IDs inside of the associations/categories like this

 

<associations>

<categories node_type="category">

  <category>

  <id><![CDATA[1660]]></id>

  </category>

</categories>
