Accessing the eBay API with PHP

Thursday, March 18. 2004

I recently started working on a class that acts as a wrapper for eBay's XML API. eBay provides an API for nearly all functions that are available on their site: You may search for item, browse categories, leave feedback and even manage your seller account.

The PEAR package I'm working on will make these functions available as methods of an objects and thus allow you to use them without any knowledge of the eBay XML syntax.

You may browse the code in our CVS repository or download an alpha version of the packge (does not support a lot of functions) at pear.php-tools.net. If anyone knows about a package developed by eBay that provides the same functionality, please let me know.

Very nice, this is exactly what I have been looking for! Keep up the good work- if I find something to contribute I will definately do so.

I am looking for this to run a few websites that i have in mind. I have been working with the ebay affiliate manager Eva Hung to get my api keys but i don't want to sign up yet because i don't know how to use it yet. If you want i can donate whatever you need to get this program moving. I will be happy to buy it or anything else you need. Please let me know if i can do anything.
