README

The goal for this API is to make a reliable PHP class to communicate with the finding, shopping and trading API.

Important Note

The library is still under development and at this time only the Finding API has been implemented. The documentation is a work in progress and will be updated as we move along in development.

Finding API

The library uses the Call Reference found here:http://developer.ebay.com/Devzone/finding/CallRef/index.html

For both the standard input fields as well as the call-specific field, the examples below will be the same.

Initialize Library

$ebay = new \rearley\Ebay\Finding('your_ebay_key');

Select call reference, will mirror the call reference name in eBay's documentation

$ebay->call_type('findItemsIneBayStores');

Here are a few examples of setting up each option. Any other option not listed in the example but listed in the documents will follow the same syntax.

Aspect Filters

$ebay->add_aspectFilter('Brand', array('Apple','Bacon'));

Domain Filter

$ebay->add_domainFilter('Other_MP3_Players');

Item Filters

$ebay->add_itemFilter('MinPrice', '100','Currency','USD');

$ebay->add_itemFilter('MaxPrice', '200','Currency','USD');

$ebay->add_itemFilter('FreeShippingOnly', 'true');

To complete the call

$results = $ebay->search();

$results will be FALSE on any errors caused through the code. Any errors that would generate a error response from eBay will not flag an error.

$ebay->results

To get other errors not generated from ebay:

$error = $ebay->error;
