browseapi 0.12.2

eBay Browse API Python client

This package is a Python client for eBay Browse API. It is asynchronous and designed to send a large number of requests by one function call.

For more information about this API visit official documentation.

Installation

Install from PyPI by pip install browseapi

Supported methods

Only these methods are now implemented (names changed to lowercase notation):

• search

• search_by_image

• get_item

• get_item_by_legacy_id

• get_items_by_item_group

• check_compatibility

Quickstart

Create a BrowseAPI instance with your application id (app_id) and application secret (cert_id) and start sending requests:

from browseapi import BrowseAPI

app_id = '<your_app_id>'
cert_id = '<your_cert_id>'

api = BrowseAPI(app_id, cert_id)
responses = api.execute('search', [{'q': 'drone', 'limit': 50}, {'category_ids': 20863}])

# this will make 'search' request two times with parameters
# q=drone and limit=50 for the first time and
# category_ids=20863 for the second time

print(responses[0].itemSummaries[0])

All response fields have similar names and types as those mentioned in official docs.

Tests

For running tests put your secret.json file with fields 'eb_app_id' and 'eb_cert_id' to the browseapi/tests directory, then run a command from the parent browseapi directory:

python -m unittest browseapi.tests.test_client

You may get warnings like this:

ResourceWarning: unclosed transport

Just ignore it.
