How do I get a large item image using the eBay API? The API call below returns a thumbnail image when I use galleryURL. I tried replacing it with PictureURLLarge, but that did not return a URL.
(The line I am referring to is 16th from the bottom: $pic = $item->galleryURL;)
// API request variables
$endpoint = 'http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1'; // URL to call
$version = '1.11.0'; // API version supported by your application
$appid = 'XXXXX'; // Replace with your own AppID
$globalid = 'EBAY-US'; // Global ID of the eBay site you want to search (e.g., EBAY-DE)
$query = "soft thin (shirt, tshirt, t-shirt)"; // Supply your own query
$safequery = urlencode($query); // Make the query URL-friendly
$i = '0'; // Initialize the item filter index to 0
// Create a PHP array of the item filters you want to use in your request
$filterarray =
array(
array(
'name' => 'MaxPrice',
'value' => '1500',
'paramName' => 'Currency',
'paramValue' => 'USD'),
array(
'name' => 'FreeShippingOnly',
'value' => 'false',
'paramName' => '',
'paramValue' => ''),
array(
'name' => 'ListingType',
'value' => array('AuctionWithBIN','FixedPrice','StoreInventory'),
'paramName' => '',
'paramValue' => ''),
);
// Generates an indexed URL snippet from the array of item filters
function buildURLArray ($filterarray) {
global $urlfilter;
global $i;
// Iterate through each filter in the array
foreach($filterarray as $itemfilter) {
// Iterate through each key in the filter
foreach ($itemfilter as $key =>$value) {
if(is_array($value)) {
foreach($value as $j => $content) { // Index the key for each value
$urlfilter .= "&itemFilter($i).$key($j)=$content";
}
}
else {
if($value != "") {
$urlfilter .= "&itemFilter($i).$key=$value";
}
}
}
$i++;
}
return "$urlfilter";
} // End of buildURLArray function
// Build the indexed item filter URL snippet
buildURLArray($filterarray);
// Construct the findItemsAdvanced HTTP GET call
$apicall = "$endpoint?";
$apicall .= "OPERATION-NAME=findItemsAdvanced";
$apicall .= "&SERVICE-VERSION=$version";
$apicall .= "&SECURITY-APPNAME=$appid";
$apicall .= "&GLOBAL-ID=$globalid";
$apicall .= "&descriptionSearch=true";
$apicall .= "&categoryId=110";
$apicall .= "&keywords=$safequery";
$apicall .= "&paginationInput.entriesPerPage=100";
$apicall .= "$urlfilter";
// Load the call and capture the document returned by eBay API
$resp = simplexml_load_file($apicall);
// Check to see if the request was successful, else print an error
if ($resp->ack == "Success") {
$results = '';
// If the response was loaded, parse it and build links
foreach($resp->searchResult->item as $item) {
$pic = $item->galleryURL;
$link = $item->viewItemURL;
$title = $item->title;
$ship = (float) $item->shippingInfo->shippingServiceCost;
$price = (float) $item->sellingStatus->currentPrice;
$sell = ($ship + $price);
// For each SearchResultItem node, build a link and append it to $results
$results .= "<a href=\"$link\" title=\"$title\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"shirt-block\"><img src=\"$pic\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\"><br /><br /><span class=\"cost\">$$sell</span></div></a>";
}
}
// If the response does not indicate 'Success,' print an error
else {
$results = "<h3>Oops! The request was not successful. Make sure you are using a valid ";
$results .= "AppID for the Production environment.</h3>";
}
var_dump($item)in the loop? Also, did you try$item->pictureURLLarge(case sensitive)? – Bayern
