GetItemStatus

Posted on July 14th, 2007 in Applications

GetItemStatus retrieves staus information for items on eBay. A simple form based application can be viewed in the AuctionFeed PHP Toolkit demo: http://toolkit.auctionfeed.co.uk/index.php/itemstatus.

Key points to note:

• status related information is returned rather than detailed item information

URL Based Queries

Results can also be generated via URL using the following syntax:

index.php/itemstatus/index/[ItemID]

To retrieve status information for multiple items, seperate ItemID number with a period. For eaxmple:

index.php/itemstatus/index/290138813211.160128997608

Integration

GetItemStatus has been integrated into the GetSingleItem application. It is used to update frequently changing fields such as current bid price in cached item information, resulting in faster application performance.
