Error Passing a Custom GuzzleHttp\Client to SellingPartnerApi::seller()
The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.
Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I encounter an error when using a custom GuzzleHttp\Client with the authenticationClient parameter in SellingPartnerApi::seller(). Based on the documentation, passing a Guzzle client should be supported. However, when I provide my custom client, I receive the following error:
PLAINTEXTTyped property Saloon\Http\Senders\GuzzleSender::$client must not be accessed before initialization.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Instantiate a Guzzle client with a proxy or use an empty client:
PHP$httpClient = new \GuzzleHttp\Client([ 'proxy' => 'http://username:password@proxy_host:port', 'timeout' => 30, 'connect_timeout' => 30, ]); // or just an empty client $httpClient = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
- Pass it to SellingPartnerApi::seller():
PHP$api = SellingPartnerApi::seller( clientId: $credentials->api_client_id, clientSecret: $credentials->api_client_secret, refreshToken: $credentials->refresh_token, endpoint: Endpoint::NA, authenticationClient: $httpClient );
- Attempt to make a request:
PHP$response = $api->sellersV1()->getMarketplaceParticipations();
Additional Information:
- PHP: 8.4.1
- Selling Partner API SDK: 7.2.4 (jlevers/selling-partner-api)
- Guzzle: 7.9.2
- Laravel: 11.41.3
I confirmed that the error occurs even with a plain Guzzle client. Is there an internal constraint or a required initialization step that I am missing when using a custom client? Any guidance would be appreciated.

The error
Typed property Saloon\Http\Senders\GuzzleSender::$client must not be accessed before initialization
indicates that something in the SDK’s chain of initializing its internal HTTP sender is going wrong when you override the client with your own instance.
What’s Happening
The Selling Partner API SDK uses the Saloon library under the hood. When you pass your own Guzzle client as the authenticationClient parameter, it bypasses some of the SDK’s internal initialization routines. In other words, the internal sender class (GuzzleSender) expects to set its own client property during its construction, and by providing a pre-built client the SDK’s initialization isn’t fully completed—resulting in the typed property error when it’s later used.
How to Approach a Fix
-
Omit the Custom Client:
Allow the SDK to create and initialize its own Guzzle client. This is the simplest workaround if you can configure your proxy settings or other options through the SDK’s configuration (check if it allows passing options rather than a full client). -
Pass Configuration Options Instead of a Pre-instantiated Client:
If you need custom settings like a proxy, see if the SDK provides a way to pass configuration options. For example, some SDKs allow you to pass an array of options that the SDK then uses when creating its Guzzle client. This ensures that all expected initialization steps occur. -
Upgrade or Report:
Verify that you’re using the latest version of both the Selling Partner API SDK and its dependencies (like Saloon). If the issue persists, it might be worth checking the SDK’s issue tracker. There could be a bug or internal constraint regarding overriding the authentication client with a fully instantiated Guzzle client.
Summary
There isn’t an intentionally documented “internal constraint” preventing use of a custom Guzzle client. Rather, the SDK’s internal initialization (specifically the Saloon HTTP sender’s setup) isn’t designed to accept a pre-built client instance without its own setup process. The recommended approach is to either let the SDK create the client under the hood (and pass any configuration options it supports) or upgrade/report the issue if you need to supply your own client.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance configuring the SDK’s HTTP options, feel free to ask.
