REST API for the UK

REST API for the UK
Mon, 18 Dec 2006 13:12:56 -080
I'm using the rest API to GetCategoryListings.  This returns a 10007 error when
accessing http://rest.api.ebay.com/restapi but at least it is returning
something.

How can I use the Rest API for ebay UK?  I have tried http://rest.api.ebay.

Just managed to answer my own question.  Clearly REST is not a suitable API for
what I am trying to achieve as the following explains:

[pre]Currently, only the GetSearchResults call is supported via REST.[/pre]

Hi a.embleton,

I may have some good news for you - within the last month we have made
[url=http://ebaydeveloper.typepad.com/dev/2006/12/more_api_calls_.html]five new
API calls with REST support[/url] available, including GetItem and
GetCategories.

Take a look at the updated
[url=http://developer.ebay.com/developercenter/rest/eBayRESTAPIGuide.pdf]REST
Documentation[/url] and see if this will meet your needs. These calls are
supported for ebay.co.uk.

Search our

Base[/url] and [url=http://dev-forums.ebay.com/forum.jsp?forum=3004]Tech
Soup[/url] forum for further technical answers on REST development.

I'll also look into getting our REST developer center updated with this news -
thanks for the heads up!
