eBay API

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The eBay API is an Application Programming Interface for interacting directly with the eBay database.[1][2] The communication occurs over the Internet in the XML format. Using the API, an application can provide a custom interface, functionality or specialized operations not otherwise afforded by the eBay interface.

Functionalities[]

With the eBay API, developers can create programs that can

  • Display eBay listings
  • Get high-bidder information for sold items
  • Get the current list of eBay categories
  • Leave feedback about other users when finishing a commerce transaction
  • Retrieve lists of items a particular user is currently selling
  • Retrieve lists of items a particular user has bid
  • Submit items for listing on eBay
  • View information about items listed on eBay

As the API does not depend upon the , this makes it possible to create stable, custom functionality and interfaces that meet business needs.
