In my app I want to give the user the opportunity to choose the site to explore.
What I do is showing a list of the existing sites (using a String array) and then get the SiteCodeType with the valueOf() method of the enum.
This value works with some APIs, but what I need is actually the specific ID of the site, and I can’t find out how to get it.
I hoped to get it somewhere using the SiteCodeType I already have.
I saw both GlobalID and SiteID but I don’t understand how to work with them.

This utility converts between SiteCodeType and eBay numerical Site ID.

It’s just a simple list with a couple dozen entries:

All ya gotta do is create a simple array in your programming with a 1-to-1 mapping.
