Question

我尝试使用R在网站的API上在eBay上进行搜索。但是，我完全不知道如何做到这一点。

我熟悉在R中使用其他API，例如Twitter和Instagram。其中一些搜索可以使用专用库（twitteR，streamR等）进行，但我也不得不与httr和RCurl一起拼凑。不幸的是，我在ebay上完全没有运气这样的方法。我试过了：

getURL(''http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsByKeywords
           &SERVICE-VERSION=1.0.0
           &SECURITY-APPNAME=My_App_ID
           &GLOBAL-ID=EBAY-US
           &RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=JSON
           &callback=_cb_findItemsByKeywords
           &REST-PAYLOAD
           &keywords=harry%20potter
           &paginationInput.entriesPerPage=3')

它没有用。我也尝试过：

 url <- "http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1"
 xml.request <- "<?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsByKeywords
 &SERVICE-VERSION=1.0.0
 &SECURITY-APPNAME=My_App_ID
 &GLOBAL-ID=EBAY-US
 &RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=XML
 &callback=_cb_findItemsByKeywords
 &REST-PAYLOAD
 &keywords=harry%20potter
 &paginationInput.entriesPerPage=3>"

 myheader=c(Connection="close", 
 'Content-Type' = "application/xml",
 'Content-length' =nchar(xml.request))

  data =  getURL(url = url,
           postfields=xml.request,
           httpheader=myheader,
           verbose=TRUE)

也没有运气。基本上，我不知道我在做什么。有人可以帮忙吗？

Answer 1

我已经使用名为ebayr的新R套餐包裹ebay的Finding API，并进行httr::GET调用。见这里：https://github.com/gsimchoni/ebayr

您需要从https://go.developer.ebay.com/获取令牌，并且您很高兴。

url <- 'http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsByKeywords&SERVICE-VERSION=1.0.0&SECURITY-APPNAME=USER_ADD_ID&GLOBAL-ID=EBAY-US&keywords=macbook+refurbished&paginationInput.entriesPerPage=10'

getURL(url)
