Help with ebay call

anilm · February 19, 2015

I have an ebay script which I'm working on, but am not familiar with how to :

call a couple of ebay arrays ($ship for shipping cost, and $cat1 for the product category),

and a couple of other items ($condition to show if it is new,used etc, and $binauc to show if it is a buy it now or auction product)

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the relevant part of the script:

$country = isset($result['country'][0]) ? $result['country'][0] : "";

$condition = isset($result['condition'][0]) ? $result['condition'][0] : "";

$ship = sprintf("%01.2f", $result->shippingInfo->fshippingCost);

$binauc = isset($result['listingInfo'][0]) ? $result['listingInfo'][0] : "";

$cat1 = sprintf($result->primaryCategory->categoryName);

<div class="col-lg-4 caption"><a target="_blank" href="'.$url.'"><h3>'.$title.'</h3></a></div>

<div class="col-lg-2"><p class="lead">'.$price.'</p>

'.$condition.'

'.$ship.'

'.$binauc.'

'.$cat1.'

</div>

</div>';

Thanks

Here is the relevant part of the script:

Probably could use a bit more info

What API are you using

Hi. Is this what you are referring to?

http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsByKeywords&SERVICE-VERSION=1.0.0&SECURITY-APPNAME=$your_ebay_app_id&RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=JSON&REST-PAYLOAD&affiliate.networkId=9&affiliate.trackingId=$your_ebay_affiliate_tracking_id&affiliate.customId=$your_ebay_affiliate_custom_id&paginationInput.entriesPerPage=100&paginationInput.pageNumber=1&GLOBAL-ID=$eregion&keywords=".urlencode($keyword));

Wanted to know if it was the finding API

Is any part of your api call working?

Do you get a response at all? Are you getting any values returned from what you posted above?

If so which ones..

Yes it is finding the API. I get the images, product descriptions, prices and locations. I'm just not sure what the format should be to call the condition, shipping costs, buy it now available, and product category

Here is a stab in the dark not seeing your code

You can try:

For condition use

$cond = $result->condition->conditionDisplayName;

For shipping costs use

$ship  = sprintf("%01.2f", $result->shippingInfo->shippingServiceCost);

For buy it now available use

$bina = $result->listingInfo->buyItNowAvailable;

For product category use

$category = $result->primaryCategory->categoryName;

Thanks, but they didn't work either. Here's everything from that page
