ebay api…
September 27th, 2003
for a project i’m working on, i’ve been doing some research on the ebay api. several months ago they only had one license for like $1000 per year. now you can sign up for four types of licenses, including an individual (and free) one! needless to say, i signed up – hey, another xml interface, sweet!
i’ve hacked together a simple vb app and java app to access the api site. the vb app is cool since it can just display the resulting xml in an ie browser control.
i actually was made aware of the new licenses browsing the ebay hacks book. it’s got a chapter on the api. (linux server hacks is good too.)
