ebay API – get UPC's from list of auctions

there are certain items on ebay that have UPC in their description. for example CDs and other media have a field in the actual description of the item called UPC and books have ISBN right in the description. is it possible to programmatically capture this information? most preferably solution would be in .NET.

    Those details should be available in the listing’s attributes which is ItemType.AttributeArray

    well based on what it is stated on their API reference you probably could use http://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/reference/ebay/GetProducts.html GetProducts call.

    More particularly the Trading API in an area that refers to a conditional request with name:
    ProductSearch.ExternalProductID

    “A query that only retrieves items that were listed with stock products that have ISBN or UPC values (such as books, DVDs, CDs, and video game products). Use this query to retrieve basic details about one catalog product (or a very limited number of products). The results can optionally include items, reviews, and/or buying guides that match that product. (Specifically, the items returned are items that sellers listed with the specified product’s stock information.)”

    for xml samples of this call refer to http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/XML/docs/WebHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?context=eBay_XML_API&topic=GetProductsSamples

    regarding .net accelerator ebay offers one at http://developer.ebay.com/developercenter/windows/sdk/
    download and test calls.

    one more thing, I usually test xml calls using ALTOVA suite(xml). I suggest you to do the same.
