C# Amazon SP API CreateFeedDocument not working

Question

There are 3 steps to upload a feed via Amazon SP API, the first one is to get feed encryption info via createFeedDocument API. But I am getting Bad Request as response with following content:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": "InvalidInput",
      "message": "Invalid Input",
      "details": ""
    }
  ]
}

C# code

        private async Task<IRestResponse> CreateFeedDocument()
        {
            IRestRequest restRequest = new RestRequest("feeds/2020-09-04/documents", Method.POST);
            restRequest.AddParameter("contentType", "application/xml; charset=UTF-8", ParameterType.RequestBody);
            restRequest.AddQueryParameter("MarketplaceIds", "A21TJRUUN4KGV");
            restClient = new RestClient(live_url_base);
            restRequest = await signRequest(restRequest, restClient);
            return restClient.Execute(restRequest);
        }

        private async Task<IRestRequest> signRequest(IRestRequest restRequest, RestClient restClient)
        {
            var roleAcccess = await GetAssumeRoleTokenDetail();
            restRequest.AddHeader("x-amz-access-token", accessToken);

            AWSAuthenticationCredentials AWSCredentials = new AWSAuthenticationCredentials();
            AWSCredentials.AccessKeyId = roleAcccess.Credentials.AccessKeyId;
            AWSCredentials.SecretKey = roleAcccess.Credentials.SecretAccessKey;
            AWSCredentials.Region = region;

            restRequest.AddHeader("X-Amz-Security-Token", roleAcccess.Credentials.SessionToken);
            return new AWSSigV4Signer(AWSCredentials).Sign(restRequest, restClient.BaseUrl.Host);
        }

I doubt that I am not using restRequest.AddParameter properly, but I am not sure.

I have been following below links:
https://github.com/amzn/selling-partner-api-docs/blob/main/references/feeds-api/feeds_2020-09-04.md#createfeeddocument

https://github.com/amzn/selling-partner-api-docs/blob/main/guides/en-US/use-case-guides/feeds-api-use-case-guide/feeds-api-use-case-guide-2020-09-04.md#step-1-create-a-feed-document

How to Encrypt and upload data using selling-partner-api in Amzon using .net

Update I also tried replacing below line
restRequest.AddParameter("contentType", "application/xml; charset=UTF-8", ParameterType.RequestBody);
with
restRequest.AddJsonBody(new { contentType = "text/xml; charset=UTF-8" });

but then I was getting InvalidSignature error as below:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your AWS Secret Access Key and signing method. Consult the service documentation for details.

The Canonical String for this request should have been

The GitHub link you posted indicates that [their API consumes JSON](https://github.com/amzn/selling-partner-api-docs/blob/main/references/feeds-api/feeds_2020-09-04.md#consumes), yet you are trying to use XML it looks like. Could that be the problem? — Timothy G., May 24 '21 at 13:02
no, that is request body, I am posting below object as json `{ "contentType": "application/xml; charset=UTF-8" }` — Ashok Damani, May 24 '21 at 13:07
I see you add as a query parameter marketpleaceid. Where did you see that in the documentation, because what their doc shows is just a body parameter. I've been getting restricted access messages and now wonder if that has been the issue for I do sign the requests. — j.hull, Jun 23 '21 at 13:39

try this one

restRequest.AddJsonBody("{\"contentType\":\"text/tab-separated-values; charset=UTF-8\"}");

RestClient restClient = new RestClient("https://sandbox.sellingpartnerapi-eu.amazon.com/");

IRestRequest restRequest = new RestRequest("/feeds/2021-06-30/documents", Method.POST);

restRequest.AddJsonBody("{\"contentType\":\"text/tab-separated-values; charset=UTF-8\"}");

While this is not required, obviously, I would add here *why* this would solve the OP issue and possibly what was wrong with his approach. This would enable better understanding of your solution for others who would come and read it :) – Michael Jul 11 '21 at 11:14

I do that in my open source library and its work without problem

https://github.com/abuzuhri/Amazon-SP-API-CSharp

Here sample to create and submit feed

 ConstructFeedService createDocument = new ConstructFeedService("A3J37AJU4O9RHK", "1.02");

        var list = new List<PriceMessage>();
        list.Add(new PriceMessage()
        {
            SKU = "8201031206122...",
            StandardPrice = new StandardPrice()
            {
                currency = BaseCurrencyCode.AED.ToString(),
                Value = (201.0522M).ToString("0.00")
            }
        });
        createDocument.AddPriceMessage(list);

        var xml = createDocument.GetXML();

        var feedID = amazonConnection.Feed.SubmitFeed(xml, FeedType.POST_PRODUCT_PRICING_DATA);

        Thread.Sleep(1000*30);

        var feedOutput=amazonConnection.Feed.GetFeed(feedID);

        var outPut=amazonConnection.Feed.GetFeedDocument(feedOutput.ResultFeedDocumentId);

        var reportOutpit = outPut.Url;

the link is dead. 404... – Jamie Hartnoll Feb 02 '22 at 19:18 — Jamie Hartnoll, Feb 02 '22 at 19:18

private async Task UploadFile(byte[] bytes, string url)
{
  var contentType = "text/plain; charset=utf-8"; // this should be the same as what was used in Step #1 (in the CreateFeedDocument API request)

  RestClient restClient = new RestClient(url);
  IRestRequest restRequest = new RestRequest(Method.PUT);
  restRequest.AddParameter(contentType, bytes, ParameterType.RequestBody);

  var response = await restClient.ExecuteAsync(restRequest);

  if (!response.IsSuccessful)
  {
    // your error logic
  }

  // success. Move to Step #3
}
