Is eBay API access ****
Summary: kingk_66 expresses frustration over what they perceive as unnecessary gatekeeping of API keys by companies like eBay and another business. They argue that an API key's role is merely to enable server communication and facilitate product catalog viewing, questioning the logic behind restricting third-party traffic. The post criticizes these restrictions as counterproductive, citing a similar experience with another company's procurement team.
What possible irregularities can there be in the data when the data submitted is simply a username a email a phone number and what the intended purpose is with the API key. #1 question would be is are the eBay people ****? Yes. #2 question do they understand what a API key is? No. The API key there gate keeping is simply a way for my server to talk to there server and display there catalog in case of a product catalog API then route my user to there site to finalize the purchase. So why would a company gate keep traffic from 3rd party sites YOU MUST BE A **** TO DO THAT. Best buy has done just that somebody lied n told them the API key is the value it's not cause I simple don't send my customers to best buy good job procurement team
