Ebay API with description

How do I get the Ebay API to return a description?

I have some code that makes an API call as follows:

http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?
callname=findItemsAdvanced&
responseencoding=XML&
appid=appid&
siteid=0&
version=525&
QueryKeywords=keywords;

It returns items, but it's missing the full description text. I'm not seeing the next step to ask for the detailed descriptions.

Solution

  • You have to use Shopping API, for instance: http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/shopping/docs/CallRef/GetSingleItem.html#sampledescriptionitemspecifics
