There are many features in eBay which work only for certain categories or have different values or behaviors depending on the category. GetCategoryFeatures returns information from which you can deduce which behaviors or values apply to each category.
GetCategoryFeatures returns a lot of information and its information changes infrequently. eBay recommends that you call GetCategoryFeatures a few times per week to get the latest details and to refresh a database of facts that you maintain.
To minimize the size of the GetCategoryFeatures response (considering the huge number of categories on each site), GetCategoryFeatures uses a sort of default/override and inheritance model, and you will need to interpret the response to get complete results.
The SiteDefaults container in the response states the behaviors and values that apply to the majority of categories for the specified site. The Category container identifies categories that have different behaviors or values when compared to either SiteDefaults or one of the ancestors of those categories--Category provides details about the overrides. (Consequently, any category having the same behavior or value as its parent category will not appear in Category.)
Example: Suppose that the most common behavior among categories on the site is that the Best Offer feature does not apply. Therefore, SiteDefaults would contain BestOfferEnabled = false to reflect the majority behavior for categories. The Category container would contain only those categories that have a different setting from something in their chain. In this example, only categories 112, 21 and 2111 would be returned in the Category container.

To get useful results, you must set ViewAllNodes to true. You can use multiple FeatureIDs to return only the elements of interest.

| Argument | Type | Occurrence | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Input Fields [Jump to call-specific fields] | |||
| DetailLevel | DetailLevelCodeType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Detail levels are instructions that define standard subsets of data to return for particular data components (e.g., each Item, Transaction, or User) within the response payload. For example, a particular detail level might cause the response to include buyer-related data in every result (e.g., for every Item), but no seller-related data. Specifying a detail level is like using a predefined attribute list in the SELECT clause of an SQL query. Use the DetailLevel element to specify the required detail level that the client application needs pertaining to the data components that are applicable to the request. The DetailLevelCodeType defines the global list of available detail levels for all request types. Most request types support certain detail levels or none at all. 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. For each request type, see the detail level tables in the Input/Output Reference to determine which detail levels are applicable and which elements are returned for each applicable detail level. (Some detail level tables are still in the eBay Web Services guide. They will be moved to the Input/Output Reference in a future release.) Note that DetailLevel is required input for GetMyMessages. With GetSellerList and other calls that retrieve large data sets, please avoid using ReturnAll when possible. For example, if you use GetSellerList, use a GranularityLevel or use the GetSellerEvents call instead. If you do use ReturnAll with GetSellerList, use a small EntriesPerPage value and a short EndTimeFrom/EndTimeTo range for better performance. Applicable values: • ReturnAll (in) Returns all available data. With GetSellerList and other calls that retrieve large data sets, please avoid using ReturnAll when possible. For example, if you use GetSellerList, use a GranularityLevel or use the GetSellerEvents call instead. If you use ReturnAll with GetSellerList, use a small EntriesPerPage value and a short EndTimeFrom/EndTimeTo range for better performance. • ReturnSummary (in) Returns the summary data. For GetMyMessages, this detail level returns the same data whether or not you include MessageIDs or AlertIDs in the request. Returns up to 10 FolderID and FolderName values. Currently, this detail level is the only way to retrieve FolderID and FolderName values. See "GetMyMessages" in the eBay Web Services Guide for a code sample that demonstrates this. (Not all values in DetailLevelCodeType apply to this field.) |
| ErrorLanguage | string | Optional |
Use ErrorLanguage to return error strings for the call in a different language from the language commonly associated with the site that the requesting user is registered with. Specify the standard RFC 3066 language identification tag (e.g., en_US). ID--- country ----- ----- de_AT Austria de_CH Switzerland de_DE Germany en_AU Australia en_CA Canada en_GB United Kingdom en_SG Singapore en_US United States es_ES Spain fr_BE Belgium (French) fr_CA Canada (French) fr_FR France it_IT Italy nl_BE Belgium (Dutch) nl_NL Netherlands zh_CN China en_IN India en_IE Ireland zh_HK Hong Kong |
| MessageID | string | Optional |
In most cases, all calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass a message ID in a request, we will return the same value in CorrelationID in the response. You can use this for tracking that a response is returned for every request and to match particular responses to particular requests. If you do not pass MessageID in the request, CorrelationID is not returned. Note: GetCategories, GetAttributesCS, GetCategory2CS, GetAttributesXSL, GetProductFinder, GetProductFinderXSL, and GetProductSearchPage are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable. |
| OutputSelector | string | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
You can use the OutputSelector field to restrict the data returned by this call. When you make a call such as GetItem that retrieves data from eBay, the OutputSelector field is useful for restricting the data returned. This field makes the call response easier to use, especially when a large payload would be returned. If you use the OutputSelector field, the output data will include only the fields you specified in the request. For example, if you are using GetItem and you want the item data in the response to be restricted to the ViewItemURL (the URL where a user can view the listing) and BuyItNowPrice, then within the GetItem request, specify those output fields. To use this field, see the information at the following link. |
| Version | string | Conditional |
The version number of the API code that you are programming against (e.g., 549). The version you specify for a call has these basic effects: - It indicates the version of the code lists and other data that eBay should use to process your request. - It indicates the schema version you are using. You need to use a version that is greater than or equal to the lowest supported version. For the SOAP API: If you are using the SOAP API, this field is required. Specify the version of the WSDL your application is using. For the XML API: If you are using the XML API, this field has no effect. Instead, specify the version in the X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL HTTP header. (If you specify Version in the body of an XML API request and it is different from the value in the HTTP header, eBay returns an informational warning that the value in the HTTP header was used instead.) See:
|
| WarningLevel | WarningLevelCodeType | Optional |
Controls whether or not to return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request. An unrecognized element is one that is not defined in any supported version of the schema. Schema element names are case-sensitive, so using WarningLevel can also help you remove any potential hidden bugs within your application due to incorrect case or spelling in field names before you put your application into the Production environment. WarningLevel only validates elements; it doesn't validate XML attributes. It also doesn't control warnings related to user-entered strings or numbers, or warnings for logical errors. We recommend that you only use this during development and debugging. Do not use this in requests in your production code. Applicable values: • High (in) Return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request. • Low (in) Do not return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request. This is the default value if WarningLevel is not specified. See Warning Level. |
| Call-specific Input Fields | |||
| AllFeaturesForCategory | boolean | Optional | Set this value to true to retrive all features of specifed CategoryID. If false or not specified, keep current behavior: return all features include sub categoryID of specifed CategoryID. |
| CategoryID | string | Optional |
Defines one category for which you want feature settings. If not specified, returns feature settings for all categories on the site (assuming you set the DetailLevel to ReturnAll and ViewAllNodes to true). Max length: 10. |
| FeatureID | FeatureIDCodeType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Retrieves data related to the specified feature setting only. If no feature IDs are specified, the call retrieves data for all feature settings.
Applicable values: See FeatureID. |
| LevelLimit | int | Optional | A level of depth in the category hierarchy. Retrieves all category nodes with a CategoryLevel less than or equal to the LevelLimit value. |
| ViewAllNodes | boolean | Conditional |
Set this value to true to retrieve useful results. If true, retrieves all categories that override the site default settings. (If false or not specified, only retrieves data about leaf categories. If the details about overridden settings are only defined on a category's ancestor, the call does not return those settings if you only retrieve leaf categories.) Default: false. |

| Return Value | Type | Occurrence | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Output Fields [Jump to call-specific fields] | |||
| Ack | AckCodeType | Always |
A token representing the application-level acknowledgement code that indicates the response status (e.g., success). The AckCodeType list specifies the possible values for Ack.
Applicable values: • CustomCode (out) Reserved for internal or future use. • Failure (out) Request processing failed • Success (out) Request processing succeeded • Warning (out) Request processing completed with warning information being included in the response message (Not all values in AckCodeType apply to this field.) |
| Build | string | Always | This refers to the specific software build that eBay used when processing the request and generating the response. This includes the version number plus additional information. eBay Developer Support may request the build information when helping you resolve technical issues. |
| CorrelationID | string | Conditionally |
In most cases, all calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass a message ID in a request, we will return the same value in CorrelationID in the response. You can use this for tracking that a response is returned for every request and to match particular responses to particular requests. If you do not pass MessageID in the request, CorrelationID is not returned. Note: GetCategories, GetAttributesCS, GetCategory2CS, GetAttributesXSL, GetProductFinder, GetProductFinderXSL, and GetProductSearchPage are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable. |
| Errors | ErrorType | Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] |
A list of application-level errors (if any) that occurred when eBay processed the request.
See Error Handling. |
| Errors.ErrorClassification | ErrorClassificationCodeType | Conditionally |
API errors are divided between two classes: system errors and request errors.
Applicable values: • CustomCode (out) Reserved for internal or future use. • RequestError (out) An error has occurred either as a result of a problem in the sending application or because the application's end-user has attempted to submit invalid data (or missing data). In these cases, do not retry the request. The problem must be corrected before the request can be made again. If the problem is due to something in the application (such as a missing required field), the application must be changed. If the problem is a result of end-user data, the application must alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for the end-user to correct the data. Once the problem in the application or data is resolved, resend the request to eBay with the corrected data. • SystemError (out) Indicates that an error has occurred on the eBay system side, such as a database or server down. An application can retry the request as-is a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, the request may be resent in its original form. |
| Errors.ErrorCode | token | Conditionally | A unique code that identifies the particular error condition that occurred. Your application can use error codes as identifiers in your customized error-handling algorithms. See the "Errors by Number" document. |
| Errors.ErrorParameters | ErrorParameterType | Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] |
This optional element carries a list of context-specific error variables that indicate details about the error condition. These are useful when multiple instances of ErrorType are returned. |
| Errors.ErrorParameters [ attribute ParamID ] |
string | Conditionally | The index of the parameter in the list of parameter types returned within the error type. |
| Errors.ErrorParameters.Value | string | Conditionally | The value of the variable (e.g., the attribute set ID) |
| Errors.LongMessage | string | Conditionally | A more detailed description of the condition that raised the error. |
| Errors.SeverityCode | SeverityCodeType | Conditionally |
Indicates whether the error is a severe error (causing the request to fail) or an informational error (a warning) that should be communicated to the user.
Applicable values: • CustomCode (out) Reserved for internal or future use • Error (out) Application-level error • Warning (out) Warning or informational error |
| Errors.ShortMessage | string | Conditionally | A brief description of the condition that raised the error. |
| HardExpirationWarning | string | Conditionally | Expiration date of the user's authentication token. Only returned within the 7-day period prior to a token's expiration. To ensure that user authentication tokens are secure and to help avoid a user's token being compromised, tokens have a limited life span. A token is only valid for a period of time (set by eBay). After this amount of time has passed, the token expires and must be replaced with a new token. |
| Timestamp | dateTime | Always |
This value represents the date and time when eBay processed the request. The time zone of this value is GMT and the format is the ISO 8601 date and time format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ). See Time Values in the eBay Web Services guide for information about this time format and converting to and from the GMT time zone. Note: GetCategories, GetAttributesCS, GetCategory2CS, GetAttributesXSL, GetProductFinder, GetProductFinderXSL, and GetProductSearchPage are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, this time value reflects the time the cached response was created. Thus, this value is not necessarily when the request was processed. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, this time value does reflect when the request was processed. |
| Version | string | Always | The version of the response payload schema. Indicates the version of the schema that eBay used to process the request. See "Standard Data for All Calls" in the eBay Web Services Guide for information on using the response version when troubleshooting "CustomCode" values that appear in the response. |

With version 607 and lower, categories with attribute conversion Enabled or Disabled do not return recommendations in GetCategorySpecifics. Applicable values: • CustomCode (out) Reserved for internal or future use. • Disabled (out) eBay has converted the category from ID-based attributes to only support custom Item Specifics.

SiteDefaults .ExpressConditionRequired |
boolean | Conditionally |
Deprecated as of version 579. No longer functional. Specifies whether most categories on the site require a listing to include the Item Condition attribute in order to qualify for eBay Express. If true, items on the site require the Item Condition in order to qualify for Express, but specific categories can override this requirement. For example, on the US site, the Item Condition is normally required for Express listings. However, the Event Tickets category could override this requirement because there is little need to distinguish between new and used tickets. (People rarely sell used tickets after an event unless the ticket is also a collectible item.) If false, items on the site do not require the Item Condition, but some categories may override the setting. Only meaningful if ExpressEnabled is true for the category. DetailLevel: ReturnAll. Deprecation version: 579. See also Deprecated Objects. |
| SiteDefaults.ExpressEnabled | boolean | Conditionally |
Deprecated as of version 579. No longer functional. Specifies whether most categories on the site are eligible for eBay Express. eBay Express is a specialty site where customers can buy new, fixed-price goods in a more conventional e-commerce experience. If true, items on the site are eligible for Express, but specific categories can override the setting if they don't support Express. For example, categories that are not covered by PayPal Buyer Protection (e.g., Live Auctions and Motors vehicles) are excluded from Express. If false, items on the site are not eligible for Express, but some categories may override the setting. If you list in an Express-enabled category, it does not necessarily mean that the item will appear in that category when buyers browse and search Express. It only means that the item can also be included on Express, assuming all other Express eligibility requirements are met. See "eBay Express" in the eBay Web Services guide for information about other eligibility requirements. DetailLevel: ReturnAll. Deprecation version: 579. See also Deprecated Objects. |
|

Deprecated as of version 579. No longer functional. Specifies whether most categories on the site require a listing to include a picture in order to qualify for eBay Express. If true, items on the site require a picture in order to qualify for Express, but specific categories can override this requirement. For example, on the US site, pictures are normally required for Express listings. However, the Event Tickets category could override this requirement if pictures are not commonly expected for tickets. If false, items on the site do not require a picture, but some categories may override the setting. Only meaningful if ExpressEnabled is true for the category. DetailLevel: ReturnAll. Deprecation version: 579. See also Deprecated Objects. |

If false, most listings on the site require a handling time (see DispatchTimeMax in AddItem) when flat or calculated shipping is specified. (A handling time is not required for local pickup or for freight shipping.) For a list of the handling time values allowed for each site, use DispatchTimeMaxDetails in GeteBayDetails.

Item Specifics are typical aspects of items in the same category. They enable users to classify items by presenting descriptive details in a structured way. For example, in a jewelry category, sellers might describe lockets with specifics like "Chain Length=18 in." and "Main Shape=Heart", but in a Washers & Dryers category, sellers might include "Type=Top-Loading" instead of "Main Shape=Heart". Note: This does not indicate whether categories support ID-based attributes. For attributes, use GetCategory2CS instead.
