The properties container also includes the metatdata version associated with the most recent update of the properties. getCompatibilitySearchNames getProductSearchNames Always This is the canonical name of the property. Used to identify a property within a catalog that this category belongs to. getCompatibilitySearchValues getProductSearchValues Yes Base request type used by the GetProductSearchValuesRequest type. Specifies the category from which you want to retrieve property values that can be used to search for products. If a specified category ID doesn't match an existing category for the site, eBay returns an invalid-category error message.

AND-logic will be applied within the constraint. getCompatibilitySearchValues getCompatibilitySearchValuesBulk getProductSearchValues getProductSearchValuesBulk No Return properties for a given catalog enabled category. We will throw an error if the category is not catalog enabled. false getCompatibilitySearchValues getCompatibilitySearchValuesBulk getProductSearchValues getProductSearchValuesBulk No Sort order for property values in the result set. You can sort by any of the searchable properties, such as Year, Make, or Model. If no sort order is specified then values are sorted in ascending order. Sorting can be applied only when the response is in list format (i.e., treeFormat in the response is false). For sorting, characters are compared at each position (i.e., first character, second character, etc.). When values are sorted in ascending order, numbers (0-9) sort before uppercase letters (A-Z), which sort before lowercase letters (a-z). For example, 268 precedes 3, CTS comes before Camry, and 911 comes before A3. Descending order is the opposite of ascending, with lowercase letters (z-a) before uppercase letters (Z-A) and numbers last (9-0). getCompatibilitySearchValues getCompatibilitySearchValuesBulk getProductSearchValues getProductSearchValuesBulk No Version information reflects the last update of the values within the dependency graph. getCompatibilitySearchValues getCompatibilitySearchValuesBulk getProductSearchValues getProductSearchValuesBulk Conditionally This will be populated for the non-fitment enabled category getCompatibilitySearchValues getCompatibilitySearchValuesBulk getProductSearchValues getProductSearchValuesBulk Conditionally This will be populated for non-fitment enabled category getCompatibilitySearchValues getCompatibilitySearchValuesBulk getProductSearchValues getProductSearchValuesBulk Conditionally Indicates whether the response is flat or in a hierarchical tree format. false getCompatibilitySearchValues getCompatibilitySearchValuesBulk getProductSearchValues getProductSearchValuesBulk Always Sort order input for the result set. Any of the searchable properties can be used for property name and order can be either Ascending or Descending. Output can be sorted by one or more (for bulk calls) property names. You can look up valid values using either the getProductSearchNames call or the getCompatibilitySearchNames call. getCompatibilitySearchValues getCompatibilitySearchValuesBulk getProductSearchValues getProductSearchValuesBulk No Order of the sort, either Ascending or Descending. getCompatibilitySearchValues getCompatibilitySearchValuesBulk getProductSearchValues getProductSearchValuesBulk No [NOT USED BY ANY CALLS] Orphan type. Sorts results in ascending (low to high) order. Sorts results in descending (high to low) order. This operation will provide the ability to get properties of the application. For example, if the input category is tires, then the response would return the following properties: <ul> <li>Make</li> <li>Model</li> <li>Year</li> <li>Trim</li> <li>Engine</li> </ul>

Not returned if the ack value is Success. Conditionally The release version that eBay used to process the request. Developer Technical Support may ask you for the version value if you work with them to troubleshoot issues. Note: The version in use is normally the latest release version, as specified in the release notes. Note that eBay releases the API to international sites about a week after the API version is released to the US site. Always This value represents the date and time when eBay processed the request. This value is returned in GMT, the ISO 8601 date and time format (YYYY- MM- DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ). See the "dateTime" type for information about the time format, and for details on converting to and from the GMT time zone. Always Documentation goes here This is the base class for request container for all service operations. Base response container for service operations. Contains error information associated with the request. Always Description of an error or warning that occurred when eBay processed the request. Not returned if the ack value is Success. Conditionally Version number for the current search metadata (product or compatibility). If you are maintaining search metadata locally, compare this value to the version of the search metadata you last downloaded to determine whether the data may have changed. Always This value represents the date and time when eBay processed the request. This value is returned in GMT, the ISO 8601 date and time format (YYYY- MM- DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ). See the "dateTime" type for information about the time format, and for details on converting to and from the GMT time zone. Always There are three categories of error: request errors, application errors, and system errors. Request and application errors are often caused by passing invalid data in the request. System errors are primarily caused by application failures and cannot be corrected by changing request values. Indicates that an error has occurred on the eBay system side. For example, a database or server could be down. Inspect the error message to find the cause of the problem. If the problem is on the eBay side, an application can retry the request as-is a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, the request may be resent in its original form. An error occurred due to a problem with the request, with the most likely source being the application sending the request. For example, the request is missing a required data element or it contains an invalid field. The problem must be corrected before the request can be resent. Inspect the error message to find the cause of the problem. If the problem is due to an application error, modify the application and resend the request. If the error is due to invalid data, the source of the data must be corrected before you resend the resend request to eBay. An error occurred due to a problem with the request, with the most likely source being missing or invalid data in the request. The problem must be corrected before the request can be retried. Inspect the error message to find the cause of the problem. If the problem is a result of end-user data, alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for them to correct the problem. Once the problem is resolved, resend the request to eBay. A container for error details. A unique code that identifies the particular error condition that occurred. Your application can use error codes as identifiers in your customized error-handling algorithms. Conditionally Name of the domain in which the error occurred. <dl> <dt> domain values: </dt> <dt> Marketplace </dt> <dd> A business or validation error occurred in the service. </dd> <dt> SOA </dt> <dd> An exception occurred in the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) framework. </dd> </dl> Conditionally Name of the subdomain in which the error occurred. <dl> <dt> subdomain values: </dt> <dt> MarketplaceCatalog </dt> <dd> The error is specific to the Marketplace Catalog subdomain. </dd> <dt> MarketplaceCommon </dt> <dd> The error is common to all Marketplace services. </dd> </dl> Conditionally Indicates whether the reported problem is fatal (an error) or is less- severe (a warning). Review the error message details for information on the cause. If the request fails and the application is the source of the error (for example, a required element is missing), update the application before you retry the request. If the problem is due to incorrect user data, alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for them to correct the data. Once the problem in the application or data is resolved, re-send the request to eBay. If the source of the problem is on eBay's side, you can retry the request a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends you try the request twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, you can resend the request in its original form. If a warning occurs, warning information is returned in addition to the business data. Normally, you do not need to resend the request (as the original request was successful). However, depending on the cause of the warning, you might need to contact the end user, or eBay, to effect a long term solution to the problem. Conditionally There are three categories of errors: request errors, application errors, and system errors. Conditionally A detailed description of the condition that caused in the error. Conditionally Unique identifier for an exception associated with an error. Conditionally Various warning and error messages return one or more variables that contain contextual information about the error. This is often the field or value that triggered the error. Conditionally Information regarding an error or warning that occurred when eBay processed the request. Not returned when the ack value is Success. Run-time errors are not reported here, but are instead reported as part of a SOAP fault. Details about a single error. Conditionally Contextual data associated with an error. The name of the input parameter returned with the error. Inspecting the parameter (or its input value) will often aid in understanding the cause of the error. Not all error messages contain this value. Conditionally Indicates whether the error is a fatal error (causing the request to fail) or a less severe error (a warning) that should be communicated to the user. eBay encountered a fatal error during the processing of the request, causing the request to fail. When eBay encounters an error, it returns error data instead of the requested business data. Inspect the error details and resolve the problem before resubmitting the request. The request was successfully processed, but eBay encountered a non-fatal error during the processing that could affect the data returned. For example, eBay might have changed the value of an input field. In this case, eBay returns a successful response, but it also returns a warning. For best results, requests should return without warnings. Inspect the warning details and resolve the problem before resubmitting the request. This type holds a numeric value.
