Monitor feed processing

Overview

Whenever you submit an item feed to Walmart, the response includes a feedId. Use the feedId to monitor feed processing, review item-level results, investigate errors, and identify compliance issues.

This workflow applies to item setup, item maintenance, item deletion, automotive fitment, and other feed-based item management operations.

Review feed processing

Use the feed status APIs to determine whether your feed and its associated items were successfully processed.

All feed statuses

Use the all feed statuses API to view processing status for one or more feed submissions.

The feedStatus field indicates whether the feed was processed successfully:

  • PROCESSED – The feed was successfully processed.
  • ERROR – The feed was not processed due to one or more errors.

Feed item status

Use the feed item status API to review both feed-level and item-level processing results.

In addition to the overall feed status, the response includes an ingestionStatus value for each item:

  • PROCESSED – The item was successfully processed.
  • ERROR – The item was not processed due to validation or ingestion errors.

Use this API to identify which items succeeded and which items require corrective action.

Investigate processing errors

Get feed error report

Use the get feed error report API to download a detailed error report for a submitted feed.

This API currently supports:

  • FITMENT_ACES
  • FITMENT_PIES

If the submitted feed failed to process or processed without ingestion errors, the API returns HTTP status 204 with no response body.

If ingestion errors are present, the API returns HTTP status 200 and provides a zipped CSV file containing detailed error information.

Use the error report to identify validation issues and determine the corrective actions required before resubmitting the feed.

Review compliance issues

Items on hold

When creating or converting items to Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS), items may be placed on a compliance hold.

Use the feed status APIs to identify items that have entered a compliance review process. Once an item is on hold, use the items on hold API to retrieve additional information.

Possible item statuses include:

  • In Review
  • Action Needed
  • Prohibited

If an item is returned with an Action Needed status, the response includes additional details describing the actions required to resolve the compliance issue.

Next steps

Depending on the feed type submitted, use the appropriate guide to correct issues and resubmit affected items:

  • Bulk item maintenance
  • Create a new seller-fulfilled item
  • Bulk item delete
  • Automotive fitment
