  • OpenAPI Specification - Version 2.0 for all of our RESTful APIs will no longer be available starting April 5, 2023. We will continue leveraging OpenAPI Specification - Version 3.0 for new features in our RESTful APIs.

This API provides stores-related resources for third-party developers. These resources let you retrieve basic store information such as store name, description, store url, return store category hierarchy, add/rename/move/delete a single user's eBay store category, and retrieve the processing status of these tasks.

The stores resource methods require an access token created with the authorization code grant flow, using one or more scopes from the following list (please check your Application Keys page for a list of OAuth scopes available to your application)
