How to get all the item filters in ebay python SDK

I am working with the python SDK of eBay and I am trying to programatically get all of the item filters. Basically this list (http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/finding/CallRef/types/ItemFilterType.html)

Is it possible?

Solution

  • If you are looking to obtain a complete list of ItemFilterType values such as Condition and AuhorizedSellerOnly you may be able to do so by parsing the WSDL available for the Finding API.

    The WSDL is available at http://developer.ebay.com/webservices/Finding/latest/FindingService.wsdl The idea is that you can download the file and search for the following element.

    <xs:simpleType name="ItemFilterType">

    Within this element you can iterate through the following elements.

    <xs:enumeration/>

    The value attribute of each element should be the information that you are looking for.The example below is simplified version of what you can expect in the WSDL. 

    <xs:simpleType name="ItemFilterType">
    <xs:enumeration value="Condition"></xs:enumeration>
    <xs:enumeration value="Currency"></xs:enumeration>
    <xs:enumeration value="EndTimeFrom"></xs:enumeration>
</xs:simpleType>
