Getting store item description

I am currently using ebay api to retrieve data about store inventory listings:

http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsByCategory &SERVICE-VERSION=1.11.0 &SECURITY-APPNAME=ENTER-APP-ID-HERE &RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=XML &categoryId=307 &paginationInput.entriesPerPage=100 &paginationInput.pageNumber=1 &outputSelector=CategoryHistogram&sortOrder=EndTime&itemFilter%280%29.name=MinPrice&itemFilter%280%29.value=0.01&itemFilter%281%29.name=MaxPrice&itemFilter%281%29.value=10000 &itemFilter%282%29.name=ListingType&itemFilter%282%29.value=StoreInventory&itemFilter%283%29.name=LocatedIn&itemFilter%283%29.value=US &itemFilter%284%29.name=EndTimeFrom&itemFilter%284%29.value=2011-08-06T07:52:48.000Z &itemFilter%285%29.name=EndTimeTo&itemFilter%285%29.value=2011-08-30T07:52:48.000Z

I would like to know if there is a way to return the item description as well because right now it gives me only price, shipping price, and title, and some other small info.

Solution

  • Make sure you include:

    &IncludeSelector=Details,Description,TextDescription

    in the call

    eg.

    http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?callname=GetSingleItem&IncludeSelector=Details,Description,TextDescription&appid=YourAppId&version=515&ItemID=1111111111
