I am using Trading API (eBay Python SDK) to extract the product name, pictures and also its price. However I have some difficulties in extracting the brand name and the description (condition, material, authenticity, etc).

Is there a way to extract the brand name and the description?

Using GetItem and GetSellerList API you can get all listing details.

1.GetItem

http://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/Reference/eBay/GetItem.html#GetItem

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GetItemRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
  <RequesterCredentials>
    <eBayAuthToken>ABC...123</eBayAuthToken>
  </RequesterCredentials>
  <ItemID>110043671232</ItemID>
</GetItemRequest>

In GetItem API you need to just pass eBay Item id , API will return all product details.

2.GetSellerList

http://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/Reference/eBay/GetSellerList.html#GetSellerList

Using GetSellerList API we can get information product name and other details.

You must pass date range start date-end date and difference must not be greater then 90 days.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GetSellerListRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<RequesterCredentials>
    <eBayAuthToken>ABC...123</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>

</Pagination>

This may help you.

  • When i use getItem, not all the results give me the brand name. Some of them does not have the BrandMPN although I have use the DetailLevel: ItemReturnAttributes. – Hello_World May 25 '17 at 17:14
  • Brand & MPN number is not required in eBay.It may be possible in some products both attributes are not set, you can login in account & check value. – Emipro Technologies Pvt. Ltd. May 26 '17 at 04:11
  • But usually if you see the details on the description tab, there is a box with the title item specifics and in that box, there is information about color, brand and any other important info. However, this box is not retrieved if I call getItem. Is there a way to get those information? – Hello_World Jun 07 '17 at 17:12
