Overview

ebaypi is a wrapper package for the eBay Developer API. It helps streamline the import of listing information from active and completed eBay listings.

The core functionality focuses on the “Finding API” which is for importing listing information:

• search_ebay() import data for active or completed listings from eBay

This package requires that the user has an eBay Developers account and an eBay AppId (token). Go to the eBay Developer page to sign up for an account.

Installation

Install the package directly from GitHub:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jdegregorio/ebaypi")

Usage

library(ebaypi)

# Set token
set_ebay_token(keyring::key_get("ebay_api"))

# Make a search
df.items <- search_ebay(
  "babe ruth baseball card",
  type = "completed",
  item_filters = list(
    MinPrice = 50,
    MaxPrice = 10000
  )
)

tidyr::pivot_longer(df.items[1,], -rank, names_to = "attribute", values_to = "value")
