Migration of Shopping API to Browse API?

[myretrostore-uk]

Got the following mail from eBay:

You are receiving this email because our records indicate that you have an application that calls the eBay Shopping API, which has been deprecated since January 5th, 2024 and is scheduled for decommission on February 5th, 2025.

Please make plans to migrate from the traditional Shopping API to the new RESTful Browse API. This allows eBay to modernize and better support this functionality.

I've got a python script which queries my product using the item number and returns the quantity. 

https://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?callname=GetSingleItem

I assume this is the API they are talking about?

First, if I go the the Browse API link in the mail I get:

Note: This API has an Experimental Method, which is available only to select developers approved by business units

I'm confused - mail says I need to move to browse API's but now they are experimental?

What is the new API equivalent I should be calling to retrieve the quantity from a item?

Lastly, the mail also includes a link to Developer Tech support, which is premium support. Not much good there.

Hi @myretrostore-uk,

You can execute the Browse API search call to search for specific items by keyword, GTIN, category, charity, product, compatible products, Promoted Listings, or item aspects and refine the results by using filters.

If you want to get the details for a single item, you can execute the calls like getItem, getItemByLegacyId, getItemsByItemGroup to get the details for the item. 

For more information, you can refer to the Browse API guide here.

Thanks. Will take a look at getItem.
