ebay-go

Another golang ebay API, mostly for searching.

Installation

go get github.com/ChrisKaufmann/ebay-go

Usage

eb := ebay.New("my application ID")
items, err := eb.Search("Something")
if err != nil {return err}
completed, err := eb.SearchCompleted("Something finished")

Convenience:

cheapest := LowestPrice(itemlist)       // returns the item with the lowest price
c2 := LowestPricePlusShipping(itemlist) //returns cheapest with shipping
e := EndingSoonest(itemlist)            //ending soonest

Example

package main
import (
	"github.com/ChrisKaufmann/ebay-go"
	"fmt"
)
const ebay_application_id = "My_Application_ID"
var (
	eb *ebay.EBay
)
