Add new product type or vendor through Shopify API?

Question

Creating a new product with the Shopify API rubygem works great. However my app needs to be able to create new product types and/or vendors.

I'm finding that when I POST with a new product type or vendor with the create product request, the Shopify server returns 500.

Is there a way to create these through the API??

Answer 1

Looks like it's actually related to how we send product tags in the POST that's breaking it. Products without tags are still posting through just fine.
