Ebay Api: list of items with date filter in coldfusion

Question

I need to update my database with some data retrieved from the ebay api with the itemId key. I work with coldfusion so I need to comunicate with the api and send an input xml and retrieve the response.

The method I use to retrieve this data is GetMyeBaySellingRequest: http://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/reference/ebay/getmyebayselling.html

Api test tool: https://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/build-test/test-tool/default.aspx

Xml:

    <?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>
    <GetMyeBaySellingRequest xmlns=""urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents"">
#ebayCredentials#
    <DetailLevel>ReturnSummary</DetailLevel>
    <ErrorLanguage>it_IT</ErrorLanguage>
    <Site>site</Site>
    <ActiveList>
    <IncludeNotes>false</IncludeNotes>
    <Pagination>
    <EntriesPerPage>50</EntriesPerPage>
    <PageNumber>1</PageNumber>
    </Pagination>
    <ListingType>StoresFixedPrice</ListingType>
    </ActiveList>
    </GetMyeBaySellingRequest>

This call run e return

<TotalNumberOfPages>2500</TotalNumberOfPages>
<TotalNumberOfEntries>25000</TotalNumberOfEntries>

So I need to Filter this data with param like dateFrom and dateTo to reduce the records. Reading the documentation ti try adding this part:

<DetailLevel>
<EndTimeFrom> </EndTimeFrom>
<EndTimeTo> </EndTimeTo>
</DetailLevel>

But I haven't a good result... Some Suggestion?

Answer 1

You are passing EndTimeFrom and EndTimeTo to wrong DetailLevelCodeType. That is why you are not getting desired result. You need to change the DetailLevelCodeType to ReturnAll instead of ReturnSummary and it will work.

In the second paragraph of the first link you provided, it is mentioned that

If you pass a detail level that exists in the schema but that isn't valid for a particular request, eBay ignores it processes the request without it.

This why you are not getting error even if you are passing values (EndTimeFrom/EndTimeTo) which are not required.

I hope this helps, I gave an answer based on the link you provided. Let me know if it works. :)
