GetSingleItem
Posted on July 14th, 2007 in Applications
GetSingleItem retrieves publically available information about a single item on eBay. A simple form based application can be viewed in the AuctionFeed PHP Toolkit demo: http://toolkit.auctionfeed.co.uk/index.php/singleitem.
Key points to note:
- ItemID number must be known
- Requests for detailed item information can affect performance
URL Based Queries
Results can also be generated via URL using the following syntax:
index.php/singleitem/index/[ItemID]
Optional fields can be set in the configuration file.
Integration
GetSingleItem is typically used afte a call to the FindItems application. Once a list of items have been found, detailed information about individual items can be obtained from the appropriate links.
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.
If shipping information is available, a link to the GetShippingCosts application is generated.
