I am trying to write an app in python. I need to get the Item specifics for an item like the UPC. I can not figure out which api will grab that information for me. It would be nice if it would show up in the Find api but that does not seem to work. Any help would be appriciated

The Shopping API will return those in JSON format, but it must be fed item numbers. You can get those numbers from the Finding API and feed them, 20 at a time, to the Shopping API.

Thank you. I have done that and now im trying to pull the UPC from the items. It seems to work for about half the items that have a UPC but the others it seems to be ignoring it.

I haven't looked at the shopping API in a while. I do recall some differences in what info would be available based on when the listing was created. Are any of the listings Variations? The UPC could be in the variation details. Or there simply may be no UPC. Is there an eBay catalog number instead?
