With this method, the seller's products are in our warehouses, and all logistics are handled by Mercado Libre. The shipment of the products to Mercado Libre's warehouses is done by the seller through the Seller Center (front), as well as the change of the logistics of a publication for fulfillment (inbounding). Through the APIs you can only consult the fulfillment stock and operations performed.

Invoicing

Mercado Libre's invoicing is available in MLB and MLC, and for this logistics the issuance of the invoicing is automatic with our invoicing tool. You can obtain the invoices issued by Mercado Libre's invoicing system via API.

Now you can check the current stock of the items managed by fulfillment, as well as the operations and movements that modify it.

Response fields

Paging

  • limit: number of records to return per “page” of results. By default it will be 1000

    - You must add the same scroll_id to the query of the field obtained previously.
    - If you don´t use the limit parameter, it will return 1000 operations of the total by default. You can add a maximum limit of 1000.
    - To continue getting the next pages of results, just do the same GET to the request until you reach the end of the list.
