Max Mancini, Senior Director for eBay Platform & Innovation, kicked off the sixth annual eBay Developers Conference in Boston this week. During his keynote address, he made some key developer community announcements including:
- eBay Shopping Web Services - a suite of faster, more responsive APIs that makes searching on eBay significantly faster and allows developers to easily create buying applications
- New JavaScript and Flash Developer Centers - making it easier for JavaScript developers to access the eBay Web Services platform; Flash Toolkit launches next month
- eBay Bidding API - qualified developers can enable bidding on eBay from anywhere beginning in Q3
- Call Limit increase - Production calls increased from 10,000 per month to ~150,000 per month (based on a daily limit of 5,000), allowing developers to rapidly scale up their applications
- eBay Client Alerts - lightweight, near real-time alerts about platform activity launches limited beta releasing in Q4
We are really excited about these announcements since these addresses the needs of the eBay developer community. Keep your eye here on the Developer blog and our Product Roadmap for regular updates on the product releases.
