eBay Trading API
Call Reference Version 643

Use this switch to view all of the site overrides for a specific category. This element works in conjunction with CategoryID--refer to the notes for that element for more details.

Specifies the category for which you want feature settings.

Specify a CategoryID, set DetailLevel to ReturnAll, and set ViewAllNodes to true to return the default site settings, the overrides for the specified category, plus all the child categories that have overrides on the features they inherit.

If you also set AllFeaturesForCategory to true, eBay returns the site defaults, plus all the site overrides for the specified category. Child category information is not returned in this case.

If CategoryID is not specified, eBay returns the feature settings for the site. To return details on all categories that have overrides on the properties they inherit, set DetailLevel to ReturnAll, and set ViewAllNodes to true. If you also set AllFeaturesForCategory to true, eBay returns only the site defaults with no child category information.

Retrieves data related to the specified feature setting only. If no feature IDs are specified, the call retrieves data for all feature settings.

A level of depth in the category hierarchy. Retrieves all category nodes with a CategoryLevel less than or equal to the LevelLimit value.

You must set DetailLevel to ReturnAll in order to correctly populate the response when you set ViewAllNodes to true. In this case, eBay returns the site defaults along with all the categories that override the feature settings they inherit. In this case, each Category container shows only the features that it has overridden from its parent node.

If you also specify a CategoryID, eBay returns the details for that category, along with containers for each of its child categories that have feature overrides.

Note that if ViewAllNodes is set to false (the default) and DetailLevel is set to ReturnAll, eBay returns only the leaf categories that have features that override the settings they inherit. In this case, the call will not return leaf categories that do not have overrides.
