Publishing extension CreateNotAllowed error

[dbeilin]

Hello, I'm trying to figure out why my publishing function is not working properly.
This is my code:

import os
import time
import json
import requests
import logging
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

EDGE_PRODUCT_ID = os.getenv("EDGE_PRODUCT_ID")
EDGE_CLIENT_ID = os.getenv("EDGE_CLIENT_ID")
EDGE_CLIENT_SECRET = os.getenv("EDGE_CLIENT_SECRET")
EDGE_ACCESS_TOKEN_URL = os.getenv("EDGE_ACCESS_TOKEN_URL")
EDGE_API_ENDPOINT = "https://api.addons.microsoftedge.microsoft.com"

logging.basicConfig(
    format="%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s: %(message)s",
    datefmt="%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S",
    level=logging.INFO,
)


def check_for_status(url, headers):
    while True:
        try:
            response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=10)
            response.raise_for_status()
            status = response.json().get("status")
            if status != "InProgress":
                break
            logging.info("Status is still InProgress. Waiting for 5 seconds...")
            time.sleep(5)
        except (
            requests.exceptions.Timeout,
            requests.exceptions.RequestException,
        ) as err:
            logging.error("Error occurred: %s", err)
            raise


def fetch_access_token():
    url = EDGE_ACCESS_TOKEN_URL
    headers = {"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}
    data = {
        "client_id": EDGE_CLIENT_ID,
        "client_secret": EDGE_CLIENT_SECRET,
        "grant_type": "client_credentials",
        "scope": "https://api.addons.microsoftedge.microsoft.com/.default",
    }

    token_data = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data).json()
    return token_data["access_token"]


def upload_extension(access_token, package_path):
    url = f"{EDGE_API_ENDPOINT}/v1/products/{EDGE_PRODUCT_ID}/submissions/draft/package"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}",
        "Content-Type": "application/zip",
    }
    with open(package_path, "rb") as package_file:
        file = package_file.read()
        response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=file, timeout=20)
    operation_id = response.headers.get("Location")
    logging.info("Upload URL: %s", url)
    logging.info("status code: %s", response.status_code)
    logging.info("operation id: %s", operation_id)

    # Check upload status
    check_status_url = f"{EDGE_API_ENDPOINT}/v1/products/{EDGE_PRODUCT_ID}/submissions/draft/package/operations/{operation_id}"
    check_for_status(check_status_url, headers)
    response_status = requests.get(check_status_url, headers=headers)
    logging.info(response_status.text)
    return response


def publish_extension(access_token):
    url = f"{EDGE_API_ENDPOINT}/v1/products/{EDGE_PRODUCT_ID}/submissions"
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"}
    data = {"notes": ""}
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=json.dumps(data), timeout=20)
    operation_id = response.headers.get("Location")

    # Check for the status of the publish operation
    get_status_url = f"{EDGE_API_ENDPOINT}/v1/products/{EDGE_PRODUCT_ID}/submissions/operations/{operation_id}"
    check_for_status(get_status_url, headers)
    response_publish = requests.get(get_status_url, headers=headers)
    logging.info(response_publish.text)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    upload_extension(fetch_access_token(), "extension.zip")
    publish_extension(fetch_access_token())

The output from running this is:

2024/03/08 15:05:11 - INFO: Upload URL: https://api.addons.microsoftedge.microsoft.com/v1/products/7d7aaf64-f955-454b-b922-a05ba24685f7/submissions/draft/package

So it seems like the upload is fine, but when it tries to publish the extension, it treats it as a new extension instead of an existing one.
I copied the Product ID from the overview panel of my extension and double-checked it.

Any help would be appreciated.

I just manually published my extension and ran the script again:

2024/03/08 15:21:26 - INFO: {"id":"8a7128d8-b6a9-4bfb-b475-dfd9cc51d809","createdTime":"2024-03-08T13:21:22.8690342Z","lastUpdatedTime":"2024-03-08T13:21:23.2838761Z","status":"Failed","message":"Can't publish extension as your extension submission is in progress. Please try again later.","errorCode":"InProgressSubmission","errors":null}

I guess it means Edge expects the extension to be approved at least once?

Hey @dbeilin, Sorry for the delay. We are looking into this and will let you know as soon as we have an update.

Hey @dbeilin, It appears that you are attempting to create an extension using the Publish API. Currently, the API supports only extension updates, and the create functionality is not available.

For more details on how to update your Microsoft Edge add-ons using the REST API, please refer to the official documentation: Using the REST API for updating Microsoft Edge Add-ons - Microsoft Edge Developer documentation | Microsoft Learn.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to let us know.
