  1. I’m about 80% sure you can’t do that. eBay’s pretty big, so it’d be a large drain on resources if they let people download that quantity of data. Instead, you have to target your searches/needs.

    They also have prohibitions on certain ways that people might aggregate data from their API to deduce sell-thru metrics and other site-wide birds-eye-view figures. Again, another reason they probably don’t allow such grand data downloads.

  2. GetSellerList

    “Use this call to retrieve items … including item data.”
    https://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/reference/ebay/GetSellerList.html

    You have to add option OutputSelector “Description” to get item description.

    Example:

    Use GetSellerList with options like:

    EndTimeFrom = today (in ebay time format!)
    EndTimeTo = 30 days (in ebay time format!)
    Pagination.EntriesPerPage = 50
    DetailLevel = "ReturnAll"
    OutputSelector = ["Title", "ItemID", "Description"]

  3. I fully agreed with Helios as developer that is searching a way to retreive item statistics by itemid , i found there’s no way to retreive star ratings on item.

    Make a getfeedback/getorders/getitem and many others calls with itemid/lineorderid as parameters are useless on trading api in order to retreive detail notation or average on a specific item/sell.

    Statistics are on the whole seller/buyer activities not on item specifics ratings even with ItemID and ReturnAll as parameters, it’s a shame for ebay.
