| Search by Proximity. We are making a variety of changes to improve distance-based search. As part of this, we are changing the way that sellers opt into proximity searching. Specifically, all items added with a valid ZIP or postal code will be included in distance-based searches. Items without ZIP or postal codes will not be included. |
| |
| This is a backwards incompatible change, but we believe you will only need to make minor fixes to your applications. This change will also allow us to allow International proximity searching. |
| |
| For the AddItem API family we are deprecating on input the [IncludeInProximitySearch] tag. This tag can still be included, but we will ignore the tag/value on input. Going forward, if the item is added with a valid ZIP code, it will be included in Proximity Search automatically. More information is available in the docs . |
| |
| In the near future, sellers will be able to delete a ZIP code – this is part of the Relist API Enhancements project. Deleting the ZIP code will opt the item out of distance-based searching. |
| |
| Adding new tag [StandardLocation] to Get calls. If the tag is emitted, it means the location is system-generated, based on a valid ZIP. If the tag is not emitted, it means the seller entered a custom location (i.e. free text). See the docs for additional details. |
