eBay Buy API, application for productive usage

[reviewhub]

Dear community,

as I'm very new to the ebay developer platform, I'm still navigating through the documentation.
I'm looking for to use  eBay Buy API, https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/buy/browse/static/overview.html , to use the item_summery endpoint, and for that I'm not sure how the application process to use it for production looks like. 
Here https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/buy/static/buy-requirements.html#Producti2 is a description, but as far as I understand this is for other API's. Can you help me out what the required steps are to apply for using item_summery in production ?

Kind regards

Hi @reviewhub,

To execute the search call, you only require the Application Access Token created with the client credentials grant flow using the scopes "https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope"

For testing purposes, you can utilize the eBay API Explorer. This tool provides a user-friendly interface to interact with the eBay API, allowing you to make API calls directly from your browser and view the responses in real-time.

Also, see the Browse API guide to get the detailed information on API flow and the use cases.

Dear eBay Developer Support,

thank you very much for the reply and sorry for my late answer. 

Do I understand it correctly that for production use, if I want to use the search calls in production, a specific application process for production use of that API is not necessary?

Greetings
