The API is now returning HTTP 500 errors and is being deprecated in February 2025. I need the Marketplace Insights API as the replacement.BUSINESS USE CASE:- Company: InnoVista Global LLC (salvage yard operation)- Application: Auto parts profit margin analyzer- Process:* Import vehicle inventory (100-200 vehicles)* Query eBay for recent sold prices of parts (wheels, engines, transmissions)* Compare against Pull-A-Part acquisition costs* Calculate ROI to prioritize which vehicles offer best profit margins- API Call Volume: 100-200 calls per day- Purpose: Internal business toolWHY MARKETPLACE INSIGHTS API:This API is ideal for my use case because it:- Returns actual sold item prices (not just active listings)- Provides 90-day sales history- Designed specifically for pricing/appraisal applicationsTECHNICAL DETAILS:- Developer Account: innovistaglobal- Company: InnoVista Global LLC- App ID: ThomasJo-PullAPar-PRD-1812e667d-05b3a769- Location: New Albany, IndianaREQUEST:Please grant my application access to the Marketplace Insights API so I can migrate from the deprecated Finding API.Thank you for your consideration,Tom JonesInnoVista Global LLC
