How to track trends and prices of products with the eBay API

Trying to find the best deals on goods can be a strenuous task. We're sure you have multiple open tabs, track data across multiple sites, various countries even! Not to mention the need for this sniper-like instinct to poach the best deal when available. It's fair to say even with all this in your setup, the odds of finding the best deal are often not in your favor.

Hence, we're excited to offer you a glimpse into our newly-integrated eBay data collector that lets you find the best deal, all in the comfort of one spreadsheet!

Using the eBay API

We'll take you through the eBay Products endpoint, which shows the trends for queried products in specific countries. For this example, we'll be comparing the prices of iPhone 14's in Italy and France respectively.

1. Go to the Ebay Products endpoint page.

2. Click Try me

3. Under the request parameters, enter the Product Name (iPhone 14) and Country (Italy).

    

   

4. Click Run

5. Once your data loads up, click on Add another row in the spreadsheet. This helps separate entries from different countries.

6. Once that's done, go ahead and change the Country request parameter to France.

7. Click Run again

As seen below, all the price data for iPhone 14's in Italy and France appear, allowing you to effortlessly track trends for products in different countries.
