eBay Merchant Data APIVersion 1255

Call Index

This API Reference describes the elements and attributes for each call in the Merchant Data API.

Note: SOAP is not a supported format for the information within Merchant Data files. The Merchant Data APIs in the following table can be used as the 'payload' information within Merchant Data files that are uploaded or downloaded. These are not calls that can be invoked on their own, like the Trading APIs in the 'Related Calls' table. See the LMS Feed API Guide for information on using the Merchant Data API request type or the Trading API request type.

Additional resources are available for this API. Please see the eBay Developer Documentation Center.

Also see the related Trading API calls as listed in Related Calls.
