eBay Category API

The eBay Category API is a REST API that allows you to access data from eBay category pages using the ebay/category endpoint.

You can query the API by passing in the category_id of the category you want to scrape.

curl -GET "https://proxy.scrapeops.io/v1/structured-data/ebay/category?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&category_id=7000259856"

Or you can pass in the url of the category page you want to scrape (make sure to encode the URL).

curl -GET "https://proxy.scrapeops.io/v1/structured-data/ebay/category?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fb%2FLaptops%2F175672%2Fbn_1648276"

Authorisation - API Key

To use the ScrapeOps proxy, you first need an API key which you can get by signing up for a free account here.

Your API key must be included with every request using the api_key query parameter otherwise the API will return a 403 Forbidden Access status code.
