Dear eBay Developer Support,
I am currently integrating the eBay API with the automation platform n8n, and I am encountering two issues that I would appreciate your assistance with:
Rate Limiting – “Too Many Requests” Error
When making requests to the eBay Browse API, I occasionally receive the following error message:
"The service is receiving too many requests from you."
Could you please provide the specific rate limit thresholds for the eBay Browse API, including any per-minute or daily quotas? Also, is there a recommended way to handle retries or backoff strategies?
Validate Parameter Error When Query String is Empty
In some cases, I send requests with an empty query string, which generally works. However, I sometimes receive an error related to the validate parameter, such as:
"You must set the validate parameter."
Could you clarify in which situations the validate parameter is required, and what value should be provided to ensure compatibility with all valid query requests?
Thank you in advance for your support. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.
