The api implements the ebay Trading API. To get a list of calls look here: https://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/XML/docs/Reference/eBay/index.html

or

lib/ebay/api_methods.rb

Some key features:

• Simple and easy to use Ruby implementation.
• Ability to return a raw response for calls that return an extremely large response such as GetCategoriesRequest.
• Up-to-date with the eBay API, see /lib/ebay/schema/version.rb
• Months of usage in a production environment.
• Support for Platform Notifications baked right in.

For examples of many common tasks see the examples folder. Start with get_ebay_time.rb. You need to get a develper account and place a config.rb (see template) in the examples directory.

Please follow this steps whenever you need to update API version and corresponding scheme.

rake schema:update
rake classes:generate
rake test

Maintainers Note: Each schema update must be tagged schema-vXXX where XXX is schema version.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ebay', github: 'veeqo/ebay'

And then execute:

$ bundle

The gem fires ASN event on every request to eBay API.

Default event name is ebay_trading_api.request.details.

Event payload is a Hash which contains the following data:

• :api_endpoint -- call name, i.e. 'GeteBayOfficialTime'
• :api_version -- API schema version, i.e. '1211'
• :method -- request method, always 'post' as no other is used
• :request_context -- a Hash with additional request context, by default contains site_id,
• :response (optional) -- contains a response object type of Ebay::Response; exists only when the request reached eBay API.
• :exception (optional) -- contains exception data when the exception raised on reaching eBay API, i.e. request timeout; format is [exception_class_name, exception_message] (see ActiveSupport documentation on this),
• :exception_object (optional) -- contains original exception object in case of exception (see ActiveSupport documentation on this).

Example successful payload:

{
  api_endpoint: 'GeteBayOfficialTime',
  api_version: '1211',
  method: 'post',
  request_context: { site_id: 3 },
  response: #<Ebay::Response:0x0000557285b0f9d0
    @body=
      "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<GeteBayOfficialTimeResponse xmlns=\"urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents\"><Timestamp>2006-07-05T14:23:03.399Z</Timestamp><Ack>Success</Ack><Version>467</Version><Build>e467_core_Bundled_3145691_R1</Build></GeteBayOfficialTimeResponse>\n",
    @code=200,
    @headers={}>
}

Example payload with exception:

{
  api_endpoint: 'GeteBayOfficialTime',
  api_version: '1211',
  method: 'post',
  request_context: { site_id: 3 },
  exception: ['Errno::ECONNRESET', 'Connection reset by peer - SSL_connect'],
  exception_object: #<Errno::ECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer - SSL_connect>
}

Event name can be configured:

Ebay::Api.configure do |config|
  config.request_event_name = 'custom_event_name'
end

request_context can be extended via the API client initializer:

ebay_api = Ebay::Api.new ebay_auth_token: auth_token, site_id: 3, request_context: { foo: :bar }

or set for the existing client object:

ebay_api = Ebay::Api.new ebay_auth_token: auth_token, site_id: 3
ebay_api.request_context = { foo: :bar }

so the request_context in the payload will contain passed data:

{
  # ...
  request_context: { site_id: 3, foo: :bar }
}

As long as the event as default ASN events, subscription logic is the same as for any other ASN event.

ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe(Ebay::Api.request_event_name) do |name, start_time, end_time, _, payload|
  puts payload
end

Run wwtd --parallel to test with appraisals. Run rake to test with current Gemfile.
