Amazon MWS API Address format for CreateInboundShipmentPlan

Question

Using the Ruby Gem - Peddler to access the MWS API. We have to send the ship from address. The documentation says it needs to be a hash, but I can't get this to work..

ship_from_address = {
  name: "Schmo",
  addressline1: "929 Whatever Dr.",
  city: "Fun Town",
  stateorprovincecode: "XX",
  postalcode: "12345"
}

And here is the actual call to the API with the client setup correctly, because I can access other data where the request is more simple..

plan = client.create_inbound_shipment_plan(ship_from_address,    
  inbound_shipment_plan_request_items)

And here is the link to the amazon documentation ..

This is what the format of the address field looks like when I request it from the API..

{"ShipmentData"=>{"member"=>{"LabelPrepType"=>"SELLER_LABEL",
"DestinationFulfillmentCenterId"=>"IND2", "ShipFromAddress"=>
{"City"=>"XXX", "CountryCode"=>"XX", "PostalCode"=>"12345", 
"Name"=>"Schmo", "AddressLine1"=>"3434 Smitherens Rd.", 
"StateOrProvinceCode"=>"YY", "AddressLine2"=>"#13A"}, 
"ShipmentId"=>"FBA37ZLXXX", "AreCasesRequired"=>"false", 
"ShipmentName"=>"2015-12-22 09:58", "ShipmentStatus"=>"IN_TRANSIT"}}}

Any ideas?

It seems like you need to stick to conventions of naming keys in the hash. The keys of the hash are converted to uppercase, so addressline1 will become Addressline1 , but it should be AddressLine1 . Try to rename the keys like so:

ship_from_address = {
  name: "Schmo",
  address_line_1: "929 Whatever Dr.",
  city: "Fun Town",
  state_or_province_code: "XX",
  postal_code: "12345"
}

Pay attention to how keys are named in specs of Peddler gem – https://github.com/hakanensari/peddler/blob/master/test/integration/test_fulfillment_inbound_shipment.rb#L5 I think this the cause of the problem.
