We are finding that a number of orders - for some as yet unknown reason - are not automatically captured. Is there a way with the API to get a list of un-captured orders?
You can use TransactionSearch API. TransactionSearch API can help you to list down all the transaction together with the status of the transaction itself. You can specified a date range and also the status of the transaction. Read here for the API details.

I am looking for a way to get all the items listed by a different seller. While this is possible to do through the eBay Browse API, there is a delay of a few minutes from when a seller lists an item to when it is visible in the eBay search.
As such, I am looking for a method to return all the items a particular seller (that is not me) has listed that will return the most up to date results.
I have found the https://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/reference/ebay/GetSellerList.html method, but I am not certain if it is possible to use it on other sellers. Can I use this method or is there another method that can achieve the required functionality
under the title of the linked url it is written:
Use this call to retrieve items listed by the authenticated user, including item data.
therefore it is clearly not possibile
you could use finding API setting in the filter the username of the seller and get the list of (almost) all the item sold by such seller with few details:
if you need full details then you need to call getItem for each itemID retrieved by finding API
but since eBay released some years ago new APis, if you have to start a new project it can be wise not using the old trading APIs (and also Finding??) that though not deprecated yet, they might be soon
I am trying to do some custom analytics and analysis for my business. We use the Square POS, and have access to the API. I can retrieve the transactions, but cannot seem to get the Order ID's that I need to batch retrieve the orders. What am I missing? Is it possible through the API to access the same sales data that I can see in my dashboard?
It depends on what exactly you are looking for. Items that are sold? Try the v1Payments endpoint. The order's endpoint that you are using is for primarily for pulling the transaction data from e-commerce transactions.
I'm trying to get item information by searching my ebay store. For example, if I enter this URL, it will search my store for a specific keyword and return info about the item.
http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsByKeywords&SECURITY-APPNAME=MYAPPID&keywords=MYKEYWORD&itemFilter.name=Seller&itemFilter.value=MYEBAYUSERNAME
However, if an item's quantity goes to zero, the item is no longer visible in my ebay store and therefore, won't show any data. How can I get data for all items, even if they are out of stock?
Please note: the data I need to get is the ebay auction number (itemID)
Thank you.
If you are listing using the API then "custom label" on the front end of eBay is actually the SKU node in the API. Here is a list of API calls that utilize this node: <SKU>
So if you want to pull one item at a time, all you need to do is use is use the GetItem trading API request. Instead of passing in <ItemID>(string)</ItemID> pass in <SKU>(string)</SKU>, and you will get the ItemID in the return output xml.
But, this is if you want to pull each item one at a time. There is a limit on how many API calls you can make a day.
So, I would suggest using GetMyeBaySelling every so often to download all of your items and store the output to a database. The output for GetMyeBaySelling includes <ItemID>(string)</ItemID> and your custom label as <SKU>(string)</SKU>.
At this point you can write a little front-end WebPage or APP to pull the data you want from the database.
I'm using getItemSummariesForSite to gather account-level summary information using a Site-based flow and the REST API. I have a few questions about the transactions returned by this call and about querying transaction-level data in a Site-based flow.
1) Not all sites return transactions with getItemSummariesForSite. Is this determined by the container type or does it vary by Site?
2) How many transactions are returned when there are transactions from getItemSummariesForSite? Is it for a fixed number of days back or some other criteria?
3) Is there a way to force the returning of transactions and control how many transactions are returned (by how many days back, for example) OR to disable the returning of transactions entirely (as with DataExtent in getItemSummaryForItem1) when using getItemSummariesForSite?
4) If I want precise control of the transactions being queried (and to query them uniformly for all sites and container types) in a site-based flow (e.g. be sure that I get 7 days of transactions from the last time I downloaded transactions) is executeUserSearchRequest the right API call?
I would request you to please use the executeUserSearchRequest API for getting transactions.
getItemSummariesForSite API is not the correct API for getting transactions.
Using executeUserSearchRequest you can control the date range for which you need transactions.
Using jsonsdk/DataService/getItemSummaries (which no longer appears in the documentation oddly), I can get a list of all items, accounts, and their balances and error statuses. However, it also returns all transactions for accounts, regardless of dexLevel you set (which seems to do nothing on this call).
The REST API talks about /account/summary/all​ http://developer.yodlee.com/Indy_FinApp/Aggregation_Services_Guide/Aggregation_REST_API_Reference/Account%2F%2FSummary%2F%2FAll but
a) It's completely different than every other call, and returns a completely different data structure.
b) This call returns nothing if you have only one account and it's still in a connecting status (as opposed to the one above, which will show accounts which are still being added/refreshed).
Long story short, what call can we use to return all items and their accounts, but not the transactions?
The getItemSummaries API returns all the data including transactions and hence the data returned is huge and hence we don't want our clients to use this API, so it's been removed from the document. We are working to get a variant to this API which returns all data except transactions depending on the extent levels.
So in the mean time you will need to call getItemSummariesWithoutItemData and once you get the itemIds then you need to call getItemSummaryForItem1 with correct data extent to get details of each Item and then consolidate it.
