Hello, I am using eBay traditional finding API for academic research purposes. I am thinking of making API calls for all items everyday for a specific location to see how many items and different categories are listed on ebay for that specific location. I use a python code to run the API call and then save and filter the data in a dataframe.
I then convert the dataframe into a csv file for visualizations on Tableau. Moreover, since I am storing csv files from before, I am also accessing historical data in a limited time frame. For example, if I collect data everyday for a week, I will be able to access and retain the historical data for the items that were posted on the first day of the week. Now is that allowed? I remember there being a clause about data persistence when I was making the account. I am just making sure that what I am doing is legal and sustainable.
