eBay wants developers who can improve eBay buying and selling. They do not permit access to eBay data that does not meet this goal. eBay does not offer an open database, so there are many restrictions on how developers may access and use API data.
Here are some eBay tips:
- eBay APIs are intended for eBay members (and developers acting on their behalf) to grow their buying and/or selling business on eBay.
- Sellers can use the API to manage end-to-end selling activities, from inventory management through fulfillment and feedback. Buyers can use the API to browse and search for items, manage watch lists, place bids and buy it now, and even complete checkout (if eligible).
- We typically do not permit other uses of eBay data.
- We recommend that you review the eBay API License Agreement carefully before you develop your application.
