AI Evaluation Report

Total Score: 8/10

The agent demonstrates a strong understanding of the Square API's services, providing detailed and accurate information about various methods and their functionalities. It effectively explains the purpose, request structure, and parameters for different API methods, such as those in the Catalog and Payments services. However, there are minor inaccuracies, such as mentioning non-existent methods like 'Cancel Payment by Idempotency Key' and 'Update Payment' in the Payments service. Additionally, the agent could improve by offering alternative methods for achieving tasks, such as using the 'list' or 'searchObjects' methods to retrieve catalog objects by type. Overall, the agent is informative and useful, with room for improvement in accuracy and completeness.

  Lists CatalogObjects by type (e.g., ITEM, ITEM_VARIATION) use batchGetobjects method in 'catalog' service.

  To list CatalogObjects by type using the batchGetobjects method from the Square API's catalog service, you'll need to specify the object IDs you want to retrieve. The batchGetobjects method requires at least one object ID to be provided in the object_ids array, and it can also include related objects based on the include_related_objects parameter.

  Steps to Use batchGetobjects Method

  1. Collect Object IDs: First, you need to gather the IDs of the catalog objects you want to retrieve. This can be done using another method such as list or searchObjects to get the IDs of ITEM, ITEM_VARIATION, etc.

  2. Make the API Call:

     • You will call the batchGetobjects method by passing the collected object IDs.
     • Optionally, you can set include_related_objects to true to get related objects.

  Example of the Request

  Here is how the request structure looks:

  {
    "object_ids": ["id1", "id2"],  // replace with actual IDs
    "include_related_objects": true
  }
  

  Error Handling

  If you try to call batchGetobjects without any IDs, as you saw in the previous attempt, you'll receive an error indicating that the array must have at least one value.

  Next Steps

  1. List Catalog Objects: Use the list method to retrieve the IDs of the catalog objects based on your requirements (e.g., filtering by type such as ITEM, ITEM_VARIATION).
  2. Fetch Objects: Once you have the IDs, you can then call batchGetobjects with those IDs.

  Would you like me to help you get a list of catalog object IDs by type (e.g., ITEM, ITEM_VARIATION)?
