Mock sample for your project: Account API

The Analytics API retrieves call-limit data and the quotas that are set for the RESTful APIs and their associated resources. Responses from calls made to getRateLimits and getUerRateLimits include a list of the applicable resources and the "call limit", or quota, that is set for each resource. In addition to quota information, the response also includes the number of remaining calls available before the limit is reached, the time remaining before the quota resets, and the length of the "time window" to which the quota applies. The getRateLimits and getUserRateLimits methods retrieve call-limit information for either an application or user, respectively, and each method must be called with an appropriate OAuth token. That is, getRateLimites requires an access token generated with a client credentials grant and getUserRateLimites requires requires an access token generated with an authorization code grant. For more information, see OAuth tokens. Users can analyze the response data to see whether or not a limit might be reached, and from that determine if any action needs to be taken (such as programmatically throttling their request rate). For more on call limits, see Compatible Application Check.

Use the Taxonomy API to discover the most appropriate eBay categories under which sellers can offer inventory items for sale, and the most likely categories under which buyers can browse or search for items to purchase. In addition, the Taxonomy API provides metadata about the required and recommended category aspects to include in listings, and also has two operations to retrieve parts compatibility information.

The Account API gives sellers the ability to configure their eBay seller accounts, including the seller's policies (the Fulfillment Policy, Payment Policy, and Return Policy), opt in and out of eBay seller programs, configure sales tax tables, and get account information. For details on the availability of the methods in this API, see Account API requirements and restrictions.

Note: This is a (Limited Release) API available only to select developers approved by business units. The Feed API provides the ability to download TSV_GZIP feed files containing eBay items and an hourly snapshot file of the items that have changed within an hour for a specific category, date and marketplace. In addition to the API, there is an open source Feed SDK written in Java that downloads, combines files into a single file when needed, and unzips the entire feed file. It also lets you specify field filters to curate the items in the file.

The Analytics API provides data and information about a seller and their eBay business. The resources and methods in this API let sellers review information on their listing performance, metrics on their customer service performance, and details on their eBay seller performance rating. The three resources in the Analytics API provide the following data and information: Customer Service Metric – Returns data on a seller's customer service performance as compared to other seller's in the same peer group. Traffic Report – Returns data that shows how buyers are engaging with a seller's listings. Seller Standards Profile – Returns data pertaining to a seller's performance rating. Sellers can use the data and information returned by the various Analytics API methods to determine where they can make improvements to increase sales and how they might improve their seller status as viewed by eBay buyers. For details on using this API, see Analyzing seller performance.

Note: This is a (Limited Release) API available only to select developers approved by business units. Enables a seller adding an ad or item on a Partner's site to automatically create an eBay listing draft using the item details from the Partner's site.

The Feed API lets sellers upload input files, download reports and files including their status, filter reports using URI parameters, and retrieve customer service metrics task details.

The Marketing API offers two platforms that sellers can use to promote and advertise their products: Promoted Listings is an eBay ad service that lets sellers set up ad campaigns for the products they want to promote. eBay displays the ads in search results and in other marketing modules as SPONSORED listings. If an item in a Promoted Listings campaign sells, the seller is assessed a Promoted Listings fee, which is a seller-specified percentage applied to the sales price. For complete details, see Promoted Listings. Promotions Manager gives sellers a way to offer discounts on specific items as a way to attract buyers to their inventory. Sellers can set up discounts (such as "20% off" and other types of offers) on specific items or on an entire customer order. To further attract buyers, eBay prominently displays promotion teasers throughout buyer flows. For complete details, see Promotions Manager. Marketing reports, on both the Promoted Listings and Promotions Manager platforms, give sellers information that shows the effectiveness of their marketing strategies. The data gives sellers the ability to review and fine tune their marketing efforts. Important! Sellers must have an active eBay Store subscription, and they must accept the Terms and Conditions before they can make requests to these APIs in the Production environment. There are also site-specific listings requirements and restrictions associated with these marketing tools, as listed in the "requirements and restrictions" sections for Promoted Listings and Promotions Manager. The table below lists all the Marketing API calls grouped by resource.

Use the Fulfillment API to complete the process of packaging, addressing, handling, and shipping each order on behalf of the seller, in accordance with the payment method and timing specified at checkout.

Note: This is a (Limited Release) API available only to select developers approved by business units. This API allows third-party developers to search for and retrieve details about eBay deals and events, as well as the items associated with those deals and events.

The Metadata API has operations that retrieve configuration details pertaining to the different eBay marketplaces. In addition to marketplace information, the API also has operations that get information that helps sellers list items on eBay.

The Negotiations API gives sellers the ability to proactively send discount offers to buyers who have shown an "interest" in their listings. By sending buyers discount offers on listings where they have shown an interest, sellers can increase the velocity of their sales. There are various ways for a buyer to show interest in a listing. For example, if a buyer adds the listing to their Watch list, or if they add the listing to their shopping cart and later abandon the cart, they are deemed to have shown an interest in the listing. In the offers that sellers send, they can discount their listings by either a percentage off the listing price, or they can set a new discounted price that is lower than the original listing price. For details about how seller offers work, see Sending offers to buyers.

Documentation of the Billbee REST API to connect a Billbee account to external aplications.
Endpoint
The Billbee API endpoint base url is https://app.billbee.io/api/v1
Activation
You have to enable the API in the settings of your Billbee account. In addition you need a Billbee API Key identifying the application you develop. To get an API key, send a mail to [email protected] and send us a short note about what you are building.
Authorization & security
Because you can access private data with the Billbee API, every request has to be sent over https and must
Contain a valid API Key identifying the application/developer. It has to be sent as the HTTP header X-Billbee-Api-Key
Contain a valid user login with billbee username and api password in form of a basic auth HTTP header
Throttling
Each endpoint has a throttle of max 2 requests per second per combination of API Key and Billbee user.
When you exceed these 2 calls, the API will return a HTTP 429 status code

The Charity API allows third-party developers to search for and access details on supported charitable organizations.

The Browse API has the following resources: itemsummary: Lets shoppers search for specific items by keyword, GTIN, category, charity, product, or item aspects and refine the results by using filters, such as aspects, compatibility, and fields values. (Experimental) searchbyimage: Lets shoppers search for specific items by image. You can refine the results by using URI parameters and filters. item: Lets you retrieve the details of a specific item or all the items in an item group, which is an item with variations such as color and size and check if a product is compatible with the specified item, such as if a specific car is compatible with a specific part. Provides a bridge between the eBay legacy APIs, such as Finding, and the RESTful APIs, which use different formats for the item IDs. (Experimental) shoppingcart: Provides the ability for eBay members to see the contents of their eBay cart, and add, remove, and change the quantity of items in their eBay cart. Note: This resource is not available in the eBay API Explorer. The itemsummary, searchbyimage, and item resource calls require an Application access token. The shoppingcart resource calls require a User access token.

Use the Fulfillment API to complete the process of packaging, addressing, handling, and shipping each order on behalf of the seller, in accordance with the payment method and timing specified at checkout.

Note: This is a (Limited Release) API available only to select developers approved by business units. Retrieves the authenticated user's account profile information. It can be used to let users log into your app or site using eBay, which frees you from needing to store and protect user's PII (Personal Identifiable Information) data.

Terms and Definitions
Throughout this document and the Velo platform the following terms are used:
Payor. An entity (typically a corporation) which wishes to pay funds to one or more payees via a payout.
Payee. The recipient of funds paid out by a payor.
Payment. A single transfer of funds from a payor to a payee.
Payout. A batch of Payments, typically used by a payor to logically group payments (e.g. by business day). Technically there need be no relationship between the payments in a payout - a single payout can contain payments to multiple payees and/or multiple payments to a single payee.
Sandbox. An integration environment provided by Velo Payments which offers a similar API experience to the production environment, but all funding and payment events are simulated, along with many other services such as OFAC sanctions list checking.
Overview
The Velo Payments API allows a payor to perform a number of operations. The following is a list of the main capabilities in a natural order of execution:
Authenticate with the Velo platform
Maintain a collection of payees
Query the payor’s current balance of funds within the platform and perform additional funding
Issue payments to payees
Query the platform for a history of those payments
This document describes the main concepts and APIs required to get up and running with the Velo Payments platform. It is not an exhaustive API reference. For that, please see the separate Velo Payments API Reference.
API Considerations
The Velo Payments API is REST based and uses the JSON format for requests and responses.
Most calls are secured using OAuth 2 security and require a valid authentication access token for successful operation. See the Authentication section for details.
Where a dynamic value is required in the examples below, the {token} format is used, suggesting that the caller needs to supply the appropriate value of the token in question (without including the { or } characters).
Where curl examples are given, the –d @filename.json approach is used, indicating that the request body should be placed into a file named filename.json in the current directory. Each of the curl examples in this document should be considered a single line on the command-line, regardless of how they appear in print.
Authenticating with the Velo Platform
Once Velo backoffice staff have added your organization as a payor within the Velo platform sandbox, they will create you a payor Id, an API key and an API secret and share these with you in a secure manner.
You will need to use these values to authenticate with the Velo platform in order to gain access to the APIs. The steps to take are explained in the following:
create a string comprising the API key (e.g. 44a9537d-d55d-4b47-8082-14061c2bcdd8) and API secret (e.g. c396b26b-137a-44fd-87f5-34631f8fd529) with a colon between them. E.g. 44a9537d-d55d-4b47-8082-14061c2bcdd8:c396b26b-137a-44fd-87f5-34631f8fd529
base64 encode this string. E.g.: NDRhOTUzN2QtZDU1ZC00YjQ3LTgwODItMTQwNjFjMmJjZGQ4OmMzOTZiMjZiLTEzN2EtNDRmZC04N2Y1LTM0NjMxZjhmZDUyOQ==
create an HTTP Authorization header with the value set to e.g. Basic NDRhOTUzN2QtZDU1ZC00YjQ3LTgwODItMTQwNjFjMmJjZGQ4OmMzOTZiMjZiLTEzN2EtNDRmZC04N2Y1LTM0NjMxZjhmZDUyOQ==
perform the Velo authentication REST call using the HTTP header created above e.g. via curl:
If you make other Velo API calls which require authorization but the Authorization header is missing or invalid then you will get a 401 HTTP status response.
