A very simple example showing how to make an eBay Finding API request with the ebaysdk-python (https://github.com/timotheus/ebaysdk-python). The example will do a keyword search for 'laptops' across the UK eBay site and restrict the search to the two categories Apple Laptops(111422) and PC Laptops & Netbooks(177). In addition the results are fil…

finding.py

import ebaysdk
from ebaysdk import finding

api = finding(siteid='EBAY-GB', appid='<REPLACE WITH YOUR OWN APPID>')

api.execute('findItemsAdvanced', {
    'keywords': 'laptop',
    'categoryId' : ['177', '111422'],
    'itemFilter': [
        {'name': 'Condition', 'value': 'Used'},
        {'name': 'MinPrice', 'value': '200', 'paramName': 'Currency', 'paramValue': 'GBP'},
        {'name': 'MaxPrice', 'value': '400', 'paramName': 'Currency', 'paramValue': 'GBP'}
    ],
    'paginationInput': {
        'entriesPerPage': '25',
        'pageNumber': '1' 	 
    },
    'sortOrder': 'CurrentPriceHighest'
})

dictstr = api.response_dict()

for item in dictstr['searchResult']['item']:
    print "ItemID: %s" % item['itemId'].value
    print "Title: %s" % item['title'].value
    print "CategoryID: %s" % item['primaryCategory']['categoryId'].value

Great example. Thank you!

Thanks for this post. I have been trying to find out how to retrieve page 2, 3, etc up to the last page. I can't find any examples of doing this. Could you (or anyone) expand this example slightly to show how to iterate through all the pages?
Thanks!

Hi there, I seem to encounter an error that reads "TypeError: 'ResponseDataObject' object is not subscriptable" . See below:

for item in dictstr['searchResult']['item']:
print("ItemID: %s" % item['itemId'].value)
print("Title: %s" % item['title'].value)
print("CategoryID: %s" % item['primaryCategory']['categoryId'].value)

---

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
----> 1 for item in dictstr['searchResult']:
2 print("Title: %s" % item['title'].value)

TypeError: 'ResponseDataObject' object is not subscriptable

In ebaysdk-python/connection.py it was stated that response_dict() is DEPRECATED and to use response.dict() or response.reply instead. I used response.dict() and everything seemed to be working.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, item['itemId'].value should now be just item['itemId'].

Ive been getting the below errors, any ideas why ?

ImportError: SDK import must be changed as follows:

- from ebaysdk import finding
+ from ebaysdk.finding import Connection as finding

Changing the line as suggested (+ from ebaysdk.finding import Connection as finding) also ends up in an error below
Traceback (most recent call last): File "ebayFind.py", line 2, in <module> from ebaysdk import Connection as finding ImportError: cannot import name Connection

Hi, it is very good script. Can you please tell me how to retrieve the results after 25 items?

hi, it is good code. do you have example that run "get user" with Trading API?

HI, thanks for the script, but i get following error:

File "C:/Users/Rana/Documents/Python Scripts/untitled1.py", line 14, in
api = finding(siteid='EBAY-GB', appid='myapiid')

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Iam using python Python 3.6.1 |Anaconda 4.4.0 (64-bit)| with ebaysdk 2.1.4

Any idea?

This script seems to need several changes,

• from ebaysdk import finding

• from ebaysdk.finding import Connection as finding

as per previous advice, but also i cannot iterate the object:
dictstr = api.response_dict()

whatever though, i can seem to print that thing and it has the results in it somewhere, thanks for the code 👍 example but why the hell do these sites keep changing the data presentation, is it just to keep devs in work?

Have you tried using api.response.dict() instead as the comment above states? According to the comment api.response_dict() is deprecated.

Here is a more updated one that works for me:

from ebaysdk.finding import Connection


api = Connection(siteid='EBAY-GB', appid='<REPLACE WITH YOUR OWN APPID>', config_file=None)

api.execute('findItemsAdvanced', {
    'keywords': 'laptop',
    'categoryId': ['177', '111422'],
    'itemFilter': [
        {'name': 'Condition', 'value': 'Used'},
        {'name': 'MinPrice', 'value': '200', 'paramName': 'Currency', 'paramValue': 'GBP'},
        {'name': 'MaxPrice', 'value': '400', 'paramName': 'Currency', 'paramValue': 'GBP'}
    ],
    'paginationInput': {
        'entriesPerPage': '25',
        'pageNumber': '1'
    },
    'sortOrder': 'CurrentPriceHighest'
})

dictstr = api.response.dict()

for item in dictstr['searchResult']['item']:
    print('ItemID: {}'.format(item['itemId']))
    print('Title: {}'.format(item['title']))
    print('CategoryID: {}'.format(item['primaryCategory']['categoryId']))

@Tamerz - I also get this error with yours too.

TypeError: 'ResponseDataObject' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

Thanks for the example! On the 'itemFilter', can we have more than one conditions? e.g., Used and Very Good

HI guys, thanks for the script, I get some error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "finding.py", line 2, in
from ebaysdk.finding import Connection as finding
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ebaysdk'

I don't think anybody answered the pagination question. Any ideas?

I keep getting the following error, whenever i try to run any of the examples above. Any clues as to what might be the issue?

'findItemsAdvanced: Internal Server Error, Domain: Security, Severity: Error, errorId: 10001, Service call has exceeded the number of times the operation is allowed to be called'

Sounds like you are out of API calls

This was asked before but no reply and wonder if somebody can assist since documentation is not clear on this.

{'name': 'Condition', 'value': 'Used'},

how to add another value above. This is a more general question and not only related to the Condition filter. There are many filters that support multiple values and I wish there are examples how to do this in this SDK since it's pretty basic feature. All examples are showing a single value only.

I don't think anybody answered the pagination question. Any ideas?

Perhaps put the whole thing in the function and make the page a variable.

def find_item_advanced(page_num):
    api = Connection( ...
    ....
    'pageNumber': page_num
    ...

def main():
    total_pages = 8  # Input
    total_pages = min(total_pages, 100)

    for p in range(1, total_pages + 1):
        find_item_advanced(p)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Ref: https://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/finding/CallRef/findItemsIneBayStores.html#Request.paginationInput

...
You can return up to the first 100 pages of the result set by issuing multiple requests and specifying, in sequence, the pages to return.
Min: 1. Max: 100. Default: 1.

Hi every one can any one please show me how to change ebay order status python api? Please

I saw orders.py from ebaysdk-python. This might help in what your are trying to achieve.
https://github.com/timotheus/ebaysdk-python/blob/master/ebaysdk/poller/orders.py

Anyone know of a replacement for the dump module for python3?
