Item details does not return response.

Question

Even though the item exists details API does not return response.

```
{ status: 
   { msg: 'error',
     code: 205,
     sub_code: 'data-output:no.results.found' } }
```

is there some limitation for details api kind like some products does not return response?

Hello,

From your screenshot and after accessing URL, i can see that this item is not available and was taken down. 205 will be returned.

If you still need get this products data, you may need to use "item_detail_new" endpoint from "Advanced Taobao"

thanks.

Hello,

Yes, it should have fixed this problem. Only items that do not exist, expired or in other circumstances other's could return this "205".

This will be much more reliable. ?

We will work to improve more.

Thank you!
