This Call Reference describes the elements and attributes for each call in the eBay Client Alerts Web Services.
Login is required if you are using the GetUserAlerts call, which retrieves alerts about items associated with a user who has subscribed to the alerts using the Trading API call SetNotificationPreferences. GetPublicAlerts does not require authentication, because it returns alerts about public events on the eBay web site.
Additional resources are available for this eBay Web Service. Please see the eBay Developer Documentation Center.
