eBay XML API request interface.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ebay_request'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ebay_request

# config/initializers/ebay_request.rb

secrets = Rails.application.secrets.ebay
raise "Set eBay credentials in secrets.yml" if secrets.blank?

EbayRequest.configure do |config|
  config.appid = secrets["appid"]
  config.certid = secrets["certid"]
  config.devid = secrets["devid"]
  config.runame = secrets["runame"]
  config.sandbox = secrets["sandbox"]
end

EbayRequest.logger = Logger.new("ebay-request.log")
EbayRequest.warn_logger = Logger.new("ebay-request-warn.log") # Not logged otherwise
EbayRequest.json_logger = GraylogProxy.new # Should receive #notify

EbayRequest::Finding.new.response("findItemsByKeywords", keywords: "abc")
EbayRequest::Shopping.new.response("GetSingleItem", ItemID: "252261544055")
EbayRequest::Shopping.new(token: "...").response("AddItem", ...some data...)

EbayRequest.configure do |config|
  config.appid = secrets["appid"]
  # And so on
  # ...
end

EbayRequest.configure(:sandbox) do |config|
  config.appid = secrets["appid"]
  # ...
  config.sandbox = true  
end

EbayRequest::Finding.new(env: :sandbox).response("findItemsByKeywords", keywords: "abc")

If gem is configured somewhere at initializer (shown above):

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :ebay
end

If you want to use just strategy you can pass all the required options as #provider args (see source).

This strategy is for Auth'n'auth method only. For OAuth method see the omniauth-ebay-oauth gem.

If you're planning to work with new eBay REST APIs, you will find that another kind of access tokens are required for working with these APIs.

Tokens obtained with Auth'n'auth only usable with eBay XML API, while tokens obtained with OAuth only usable with eBay REST API.

However, you can use new OAuth tokens to access old APIs by providing an access token in (not yet) documented HTTP header X-EBAY-API-IAF-TOKEN. This gem has builtin support for this.

To use it:

1. Replace OmniAuth strategy from this gem to the strategy from the omniauth-ebay-oauth gem.

   Most probably you will need to store and use both Auth'n'auth and OAuth tokens for a while to provide a smooth transition.

2. For working with REST API and their tokens add the ebay_api gem to your application.

3. Construct an EbayAPI::TokenManager instance with all OAuth tokens.

   See https://github.com/nepalez/ebay_api/#working-with-access-tokens

   Any object that responds to refresh! method and returns actual token from the access_token method will be fine too.

4. Pass this token manager object in :iaf_token_manager option into the XML API constructor:

   EbayRequest::Trading.new(
     token: auth_n_auth_token,
     iaf_token_manager: iaf_token_manager,
     siteid: 0,
   )

   You can pass both old token in :token option and new token manager in :iaf_token_manager option. Old tokens will be used if the token manager is nil.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
