Metadata API Version 1.11.0

The following section details the updates that have been made for this release.

Schema changes

The getCurrencies method that supports currency metadata was added to the marketplace resource. This method returns the default currency supported by the eBay system for the site specified in the request.

The getCategoryPolicies method now supports Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) metadata by adding three fields to the get_category_policies resource:

Note: GTINs are a set of globally recognized identifiers used to uniquely identify products.

eanSupport: Indicates whether or not European Article Numbers (EANs) are supported/required when listing products in the category.

isbnSupport: Indicates whether or not International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) are supported/required when listing products in the specified category.

upcSupport: Indicates whether or not the category on the specified eBay site supports the use of Universal Product Codes (UPCs) to help create a listing.

To support these fields, the enumerated type ProductIdentiferEnabledEnum was added. This type contains values to indicate whether or not the feature can be used or not, or is required or not.

The getMotorsListingPolicies method now provides additional compatibility metadata through two fields in the get_motors_listing_policies resource.

kTypeSupported: Indicates the category supports the use of a K Type to identify the cars and trucks compatible with a motor vehicle part or accessory. Only the AU, DE, ES, FR, IT, and UK marketplaces support the use of K Types.

minItemCompatibility: Indicates the minimum number of required compatible applications for listing items.
