Ebay API with description
How do I get the Ebay API to return a description?
I have some code that makes an API call as follows:
http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?
callname=findItemsAdvanced&
respo开发者_如何学编程nseencoding=XML&
appid=appid&
siteid=0&
version=525&
QueryKeywords=keywords;
It returns items, but it's missing the full description text. I'm not seeing the next step to ask for the detailed descriptions.
You have to use Shopping API, for instance: http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/shopping/docs/CallRef/GetSingleItem.html#sampledescriptionitemspecifics
I use following (very simple function to get Item detail from ebay):
function eBayGetSingle($ItemID){
$URL = 'http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping';
//change these two lines
$compatabilityLevel = 967;
$appID = 'YOUR_APP_ID_HERE';
//you can also play with these selectors
$includeSelector = "Details,Description,TextDescription,ShippingCosts,ItemSpecifics,Variations,Compatibility";
// Construct the GetSingleItem REST call
$apicall = "$URL?callname=GetSingleItem&version=$compatabilityLevel"
. "&appid=$appID&ItemID=$ItemID"
. "&responseencoding=XML"
. "&IncludeSelector=$includeSelector";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($apicall);
if ($xml) {
$json = json_encode($xml);
$array = json_decode($json,TRUE);
return $array;
}
return false;
}
