Tasks

•   keywords

  Specify one or more words to use in a search query for finding items
  on eBay. By default, queries search item titles only. When running
  queries, it is best to include complete keywords values–eBay checks
  words in context with each other. If you are using a URL request and
  your keyword query consists of multiple words, use “%20” to separate
  the words. For example, use “Harry%20Potter” to search for items
  containing those words in any order. Queries aren’t case-sensitive,
  so it doesn’t matter whether you use uppercase or lowercase letters.
  
  
  
  You can incorporate wildcards in a multi-word search. For example,
  “ap%20ip” returns results for “apple ipod” among other matches. The
  words “and” and “or” are treated like any other word (and not their
  logical connotation). Only use “and”, “or”, or “the” if you are
  searching for listings containing those specific words.

  property
•   itemFilter

  Reduce the number of items returned by a find request using item
  filters. Use itemFilter to specify
  name/value pairs. You can include multiple item filters in a single
  request.

  property
•   aspectFilter

  Aspect filters refine (limit) the number of items returned by a find
  request. Obtain input values for aspectFilter fields from an
  aspectHistogramContainer returned in the response of a previous
  query.
  
  
  
  By issuing a series of find queries,
  you can continually refine the items returned in your responses. Do
  this by repeating a query using the aspect values returned in one
  response as the input values to your next query.
  
  
  
  For example, the aspectHistogramContainer in a response on
  Men’s Shoes could contain an aspect of Size, along with “aspect
  values” for the different sizes currently available in Men’s Shoes.
  By populating aspectFilter fields with the values returned in an
  aspectHistogramContainer, you can refine the item results returned by
  your new query.
  
  
  
  
  Note: If a call that specifies an
  outputSelector value of
  AspectHistogram returns
  aspectHistogramContainer.domainName, this is a sign
  that aspect histogram data might not be returned if you also specify an
  aspectFilter in the next call. To ensure that
  aspect histogram data is returned for the next call, add a
  domainFilter to the call as well.
  

  property
•   outputSelector

  Specifies what item data to return in a response in addition to the
  default set of data.
  
  
  
  If you don’t specify this field, eBay returns a default set of item
  fields. Use outputSelector to include more item information in the
  response. The additional data is grouped into discrete nodes. You can
  specify multiple nodes by including this field multiple times, as
  needed, in the request.
  
  
  
  If you specify this field, the additional fields returned can affect
  the call’s performance (response time), as is the case with including
  seller feedback data.

  property
•   domainFilter

  Restricts results to items listed within the specified domain.
  Domains are a buy-side grouping of items, such as shoes or digital
  cameras. A domain can span multiple eBay categories.
