eBay product data API

The ShopAPIS eBay product data API returns active-listing and sold/completed price history, item condition (new/used/refurbished), seller feedback score, shipping and returns, and variant pricing for any eBay item ID — as clean JSON. It covers ebay.com and ebay.ca on the same stack, and the sold-listing signal — real transaction prices — is uniquely valuable data that few competitors can supply.

eBay is the clear #2 US e-commerce site by traffic, at ~9.2% share (SimilarWeb 2026), with an estimated ~$74B GMV/yr (analyst estimate, pre-2025) and a vast C2C, used and refurbished long tail. eBay Canada draws ~38M+ monthly visits (Linnworks 2025) on the same platform and API.

Why eBay data is differentiated

eBay is the best source of real sold-price history in North America. Its public completed/sold listings show what items actually transacted for — not just asking prices — which is rare and high-value for pricing models. eBay also publishes an official Browse API and (legacy) Finding API  that exposes listing and sold-price data to approved application keys. ShopAPIS combines official API access where it applies with parsing for full cross-listing coverage, and absorbs eBay’s Akamai-class anti-bot so you get one consistent schema. Parse difficulty here is medium — lower than Amazon or Walmart.
