How health is measured
  • Health = the share of calls that returned data, in percent. Empty results, failures and unknown outcomes do not count as returning data.
  • Levels: 90% and above is healthy, 70% and above is available, 40% and above is limited; anything lower is mostly down.
  • A period (the last 24 hours, one hour or one day) gets a score only once it has at least 50 calls. Periods with fewer calls show as normal: a few failures among a handful of calls do not mean the API is down.
  • Calls include real customer calls and our own daily probe calls. Request errors (wrong parameters, no balance) are excluded.
  • Average time counts only calls that completed normally: response time for sync calls, acceptance to completion for async ones.

Search public results on eBay. Accepts these parameters: keyword, domain, country, max_price, sold_only, condition, and min_price. Returns these fields: title, price, currency, and seller.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Request parameters

NameInTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
AuthorizationheaderstringYes-Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository.
platformbodystringYesebayPlatform identifier, fixed value.
actionbodystringYessearchCapability identifier, fixed value.
keywordbody.paramsNot declaredYes-Search term for active listings in search actions, or ended/sold listings in sold actions. Asking prices in active listings should not be assumed to match final transaction amounts.
conditionbody.paramsNot declaredNo-Filters search results by item condition. Preserve capitalization and spaces: New, Used, Refurbished, or For parts or not working. This is an item-condition filter, not a positive or negative review filter.
countrybody.paramsNot declaredNo-A compatibility input for domain that currently accepts an eBay site domain such as ebay.com, not a country code such as US or DE. When both are present, domain takes precedence.
domainbody.paramsNot declaredNo-Selects the eBay site domain, such as ebay.com, ebay.de, or ebay.co.uk, without a scheme or path. It defaults to ebay.com and is used to build pages for search, store, and reviews.
max_pricebody.paramsNot declaredNo-Sets a numeric upper bound for item prices in search. Use it with min_price to define a range, and do not assume that shipping or taxes are included.
min_pricebody.paramsNot declaredNo-Sets a numeric lower bound for item prices. Filters active listing prices in search actions and ended/sold listing prices in sold actions. Currency is determined by the target marketplace site and listing data, not API billing.
sold_onlybody.paramsNot declaredNo-Boolean toggle in search actions to return only completed sales when set to true. Must be passed as a JSON boolean, not a string ("false"). Does not imply independent verification of final settlement amounts.
limitbody.paramsinteger (1–50)No20

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

urlLink to the record on the source platform.
pricePrice as a number without a currency symbol; see currency.

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).
