Sample 1: Get Listing Counts for All Compliance Types
This seller wants to get counts of active listings that are currently non-compliant with any of the five compliance types.
Input
In the call URI, since the seller wants to retrieve listing violation counts for all compliance types, he/she runs the operation without the
compliance_type query parameter.
GET
https://api.ebay.com/sell/compliance/v1/listing_violation_summary
Output
The call response payload includes listing violation counts for all compliance types. Since the seller sells on two eBay marketplaces (US and UK), individual counts for each of these markeplaces are separated out. Each returned node shows the compliance type, the marketplace, and the number of active listings currently violating the corresponding compliance type. The next step for the seller would be to start making getListingViolations calls to find the specific, non-compliant listings.
