GetProductFinderRequestType
Fields
AttributeSystemVersion ( string ) [0..1]
A version of the product finder attribute definitions for the site. Typically, an application passes the version value that was returned the last time the application executed this call. Filter that causes the call to return only the Product Finders for which the attribute meta-data has changed since the specified version. The latest version value is not necessarily greater than the previous value that was returned. Therefore, when comparing versions, only compare whether the value has changed.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use AttributeSystemVersion.

ProductFinderID ( int ) [0..*]
A number that uniquely identifies a product finder.

For sell-side searches, you can determine the product finder IDs for a category by calling GetCategory2CS.

For buy-side searches, you can't use GetCategory2CS to reliably determine the product finder IDs for an eBay category. GetProductFinder may work for some attributes. Alternatively, you can use the pfid parameter from the URL of the Product Finder search page on the site you're interested in. See the Knowledge Base article referenced below for more details.

Multiple categories can be mapped to the same product finder ID. You can pass zero or multiple IDs in the request. When IDs are specified, the call only returns product finder meta-data for the specified product finders. When no IDs are specified, the call returns all the current product finder meta-data available on the site.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use ProductFinderID.
