eBay API: how to use outputSelector in HTTP get request

I’m using URLs like this in my application

http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1
?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsAdvanced
&SERVICE-VERSION=1.0.0
&SECURITY-APPNAME=MYAPPID
&RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=XML
&REST-PAYLOAD&GLOBAL-ID=EBAY-IT
&categoryId=CATEGORYID
&descriptionSearch=true
&keywords=KEYWORDS

I get the XML response, but I need more fields using outputSelector.

But I don’t understand how to use it in my request.

I tried to add a field like
&outputSelector=searchResult.item.listingInfo.buyItNowAvailable, but it doesn’t add anything to the response.

    Got it!

    outputSelector only has few fields, itemFilter workes instead.

    &itemFilter.name=ListingType
    &itemFilter.value=AuctionWithBIN

    Also be sure to set your SERVICE-VERSION to be current. Usually it doesn’t make a difference, but I’ve seen cases where it did. Change it to 1.12.0 and you’re set. (Actually 1.11.0 may be better — sometimes when it’s TOO new there are quirks, believe it or not.)
