Programmer must have experience using the ebay api program. If you don't have developer keys or don't know how to use the sandbox please don't bid.
I need a script, perhaps in PHP, that will use the ebay affiliate api program calls to perform varied queries to ebay using a keyword variable and return a number of results, also set by a variable, and display these returned results in html format.
The variables must be able to be passed into the script. This is not as user input but as hard coded in the page making the script call. This way I can set the keywords for each page as I wish to have them. Having them set as user input forms would work for testing the script and be a nice addition for other uses. So both would be best.
For example, if I pass in the keyword variable to “ipod” and number of results to “5” the script would return the first five results for the search of “ipod” as if done on ebay and display them on the screen.
The calls would need to be able to use any of the optional parameters that ebay allows for the calls. Ie, category numbers, sort orders, etc… its all in the api docs.
The calls should also be able to be hard coded in and passed into the script.
The script must have the ability to display any or all of the returned data.
For example, I might want the title only.
Or the title and gallery picture only.
Or all data, title, gallery picture, time left, bids, price.
Output needs to be easily customizable. If this is done by tokens, like “title” or “bid” tokens then I can format the results as I would like them.
The script must be able to be included on any web page I want to put it on.
This is a script to use the api. Scraping is NOT acceptable.
You will need to develop this on your server using your keys. Once its all working, you will help to move it to my servers and set it up with my keys.
Please show me an example of an ebay api usage script or program you have created or provide a sample of the calls you would use to make this script.
