eBay Connection
This documentation is based on version 21.0.8257 of the connector.
This documentation is based on version 21.0.8257 of the connector.
The connector allows a relational view of entities from the Trading, FileTransfer, BulkData, Feedback, and Merchandising APIs.
By default, the connector connects to production environments. Set UseSandbox to true to use a eBay sandbox account.
eBay uses the OAuth 2.0 authentication standard and the Auth'n'Auth, the traditional authentication used by the eBay APIs. To authenticate using OAuth or Auth'n'Auth, depending on how your app is configured, you will need to create an app to obtain the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, DevID, and CallbackURL connection properties. See Using OAuth Authentication for an authentication guide.
OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with eBay using the browser. The connector facilitates this in various ways as described below.
You will need to register an app to obtain the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret.
See Creating a Custom OAuth App for a procedure.
After setting the following, you are ready to connect:
To create eBay data sources on headless servers or other machines on which the connector cannot open a browser, you need to authenticate from another machine. Authentication is a two-step process.
Create a Custom OAuth App
See Creating a Custom OAuth App for a procedure. You can then follow the procedures below to authenticate and connect to data.
Obtain a Verifier Code
Set the following properties on the headless machine:
You can then follow the steps below to authenticate from another machine and obtain the OAuthVerifier connection property.
On the headless machine, set the following connection properties to obtain the OAuth authentication values:
Connect to Data
After the OAuth settings file is generated, set the following properties to connect to data:
Transfer OAuth Settings
Follow the steps below to install the connector on another machine, authenticate, and then transfer the resulting OAuth values.
On a second machine, install the connector and connect with the following properties set:
Test the connection to authenticate. The resulting authentication values are written, encrypted, to the path specified by OAuthSettingsLocation. Once you have successfully tested the connection, copy the OAuth settings file to your headless machine. On the headless machine, set the following connection properties to connect to data:
There are two authentication methods available for connecting to eBay: Using a token generated for accessing only personal data or using tokens that allow other users to access their own data. Both methods require you to join the eBay Developers Program.
After joining the eBay Developers Program, you can obtain the following values from the Application Keys page (My Account -> Application access keys).
If you're working with your own account, follow the steps below to generate a token:
In the App ID (Client ID) row for the key set you want to use, click User Tokens.
Use production keys if you're searching for real items or listing real items to the live eBay site. Use sandbox keys if you're creating test listings in the sandbox.
Note: To enable the OAuth 2.0 authentication, you should check the 'OAuth Enabled' checkbox under the opened tab ' Your eBay Sign-in Settings'. If it is not enabled, then only the Auth'N'Auth authentication method will be supported.
You can then set the following connection properties and connect:
eBay implements the OAuth authentication standard, which you can use to allow other users to access their own data.
OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with eBay using the browser. The connector facilitates this in various ways as described in the following sections.
Follow the steps below to configure the user consent flow:
Note: To enable the OAuth 2.0 authentication, you should check the 'OAuth Enabled' checkbox under the opened tab ' Your eBay Sign-in Settings'. If it is not enabled, then only the Auth'N'Auth authentication method will be supported.
After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:
When you connect, the connector opens the OAuth or Auth and Auth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. The connector then completes the authentication process:
To obtain the access token, set the following connection properties:
When connecting via a Web application, or if the connector is not authorized to open a browser window, you need to exchange a session ID (if you are using Auth and Auth as an authentication method) or a verifier code (if you are using OAuth 2.0) for the OAuthAccessToken:
This section details a selection of advanced features of the eBay connector.
The connector allows you to define virtual tables, called user defined views, whose contents are decided by a pre-configured query. These views are useful when you cannot directly control queries being issued to the drivers. See User Defined Views for an overview of creating and configuring custom views.
Use SSL Configuration to adjust how connector handles TLS/SSL certificate negotiations. You can choose from various certificate formats; see the SSLServerCert property under "Connection String Options" for more information.
To configure the connector using Private Agent proxy settings, select the Use Proxy Settings checkbox on the connection configuration screen.
The Jitterbit Connector for eBay allows you to define a virtual table whose contents are decided by a pre-configured query. These are called User Defined Views, which are useful in situations where you cannot directly control the query being issued to the driver, e.g. when using the driver from Jitterbit. The User Defined Views can be used to define predicates that are always applied. If you specify additional predicates in the query to the view, they are combined with the query already defined as part of the view.
There are two ways to create user defined views:User Defined Views are defined in a JSON-formatted configuration file called UserDefinedViews.json. The connector automatically detects the views specified in this file.
You can also have multiple view definitions and control them using the UserDefinedViews connection property. When you use this property, only the specified views are seen by the connector.
This User Defined View configuration file is formatted as follows:For example:
{ "MyView": { "query": "SELECT * FROM ItemListing WHERE MyColumn = 'value'" }, "MyView2": { "query": "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Id IN (1,2,3)" } }Use the UserDefinedViews connection property to specify the location of your JSON configuration file. For example:
"UserDefinedViews", "C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop\tmp\UserDefinedViews.json"
SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE City = 'Raleigh';An example of a query to the driver:
SELECT * FROM UserViews.RCustomers WHERE Status = 'Active';Resulting in the effective query to the source:
SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE City = 'Raleigh' AND Status = 'Active';That is a very simple example of a query to a User Defined View that is effectively a combination of the view query and the view definition. It is possible to compose these queries in much more complex patterns. All SQL operations are allowed in both queries and are combined when appropriate.
By default, the connector attempts to negotiate SSL/TLS by checking the server's certificate against the system's trusted certificate store.
To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert property for the available formats to do so.
The Jitterbit Connector for eBay models entities in the eBay API as tables, views, and stored procedures. These are defined in schema files, which are simple, text-based configuration files.
API limitations and requirements are documented in this section; you can use the SupportEnhancedSQL feature, set by default, to circumvent most of these limitations.
The Jitterbit Connector for eBay models Item Listings in tables so that they can be easily queried, updated, and deleted. You can list items on your eBay store by calling the AddItem stored procedure.
Views are tables that cannot be modified. Typically, read-only data are shown as views.
NOTE: Stored procedures are not currently supported. See the above note for details.
Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to the data source. They can be used to search, update, and modify information in the data source.
The connector models the data in eBay into a list of tables that can be queried using standard SQL statements.
Generally, querying eBay tables is the same as querying a table in a relational database. Sometimes there are special cases, for example, including a certain column in the WHERE clause might be required to get data for certain columns in the table. This is typically needed for situations where a separate request must be made for each row to get certain columns. These types of situations are clearly documented at the top of the table page linked below.
Name | Description |
ItemListing | Update, delete, and query Item Listings for sellers. |
ItemVariations | Item Variations are multiple similar (but not identical) items in a single fixed-price listing. For example, a T-shirt listing could contain multiple items of the same brand that vary by color and size; each variation would specify a combination of one of these colors and sizes. Each variation can have a different quantity and price. You can buy multiple items from one variation at the same time. (That is, one order line item can contain multiple items from a single variation.) |
Tasks | Retrieves all the tasks for the marketplace you specify using the MarketplaceId query parameter. |
Update, delete, and query Item Listings for sellers.
The following query retrieves seller items. By default this query returns items that were added in the last 100 days.
SELECT * FROM ItemListing
ItemListing is the only table that supports ORDER BY. Only two columns can be used for ordering: StartTime and EndTime. The following query retrieves items that end between the specified time, ordered by the item ending soonest.
SELECT * FROM ItemListing WHERE EndTimeFrom='2016-01-25' AND EndTimeTo='2016-02-05' ORDER BY EndTime
The AddItem stored procedure* provides the functionality to add a new item.
The inputs that are required for an update depend on the type of the item and its category. At least the ItemId and one property of the item must be provided in an update.
UPDATE ItemListing SET Title='My Awesome Item' WHERE ItemId='123456789'After one item in a multiquantity listing has been sold, sellers cannot change the values in the Title, Primary Category, Secondary Category, Listing Duration, and Listing Type fields. However, all other fields are still editable.

Views are composed of columns and pseudo columns. Views are similar to tables in the way that data is represented; however, views do not support updates. Entities that are represented as views are typically read-only entities. Often, a stored procedure* is available to update the data if such functionality is applicable to the data source.
Queries can be executed against a view as if it were a normal table, and the data that comes back is similar in that regard. To find out more about tables and stored procedures, please navigate to their corresponding entries in this help document.

Certificates are validated as trusted by the machine based on the System's trust store. The trust store used is the 'javax.net.ssl.trustStore' value specified for the system. If no value is specified for this property, Java's default trust store is used (for example, JAVA_HOME\lib\security\cacerts).
Use '*' to signify to accept all certificates. Note that this is not recommended due to security concerns.
This section provides a complete list of schema properties you can configure.
Property | Description |
Location | A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures. |
BrowsableSchemas | This property restricts the schemas reported to a subset of the available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA, SchemaB, SchemaC. |
Tables | This property restricts the tables reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Tables=TableA, TableB, TableC. |
Views | Restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA, ViewB, ViewC. |
A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures.
string
"%APPDATA%\\Ebay Data Provider\Schema"
The path to a directory which contains the schema files for the connector (.rsd files for tables and views, .rsb files for stored procedures). The folder location can be a relative path from the location of the executable. The Location property is only needed if you want to customize definitions (for example, change a column name, ignore a column, and so on) or extend the data model with new tables, views, or stored procedures.
If left unspecified, the default location is "%APPDATA%\\Ebay Data Provider\Schema" with %APPDATA% being set to the user's configuration directory:
Platform | %APPDATA% |
Windows | The value of the APPDATA environment variable |
Mac | ~/Library/Application Support |
Linux | ~/.config |
This property restricts the schemas reported to a subset of the available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC.
string
""
Listing the schemas from databases can be expensive. Providing a list of schemas in the connection string improves the performance.
This property restricts the tables reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC.
string
""
Listing the tables from some databases can be expensive. Providing a list of tables in the connection string improves the performance of the connector.
This property can also be used as an alternative to automatically listing views if you already know which ones you want to work with and there would otherwise be too many to work with.
Specify the tables you want in a comma-separated list. Each table should be a valid SQL identifier with any special characters escaped using square brackets, double-quotes or backticks. For example, Tables=TableA,[TableB/WithSlash],WithCatalog.WithSchema.`TableC With Space`.Note that when connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you will need to provide the fully qualified name of the table in this property, as in the last example here, to avoid ambiguity between tables that exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.
Restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC.

This section provides a complete list of miscellaneous properties you can configure.
Property | Description |
MaxRows | Limits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time. |
Other | These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases. |
PseudoColumns | This property indicates whether or not to include pseudo columns as columns to the table. |
Timeout | The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation. |
Limits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time.
int
-1
Limits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time.
These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases.
string
""
The properties listed below are available for specific use cases. Normal driver use cases and functionality should not require these properties.
Specify multiple properties in a semicolon-separated list.
DefaultColumnSize | Sets the default length of string fields when the data source does not provide column length in the metadata. The default value is 2000. |
ConvertDateTimeToGMT | Determines whether to convert date-time values to GMT, instead of the local time of the machine. |
RecordToFile=filename | Records the underlying socket data transfer to the specified file. |
This property indicates whether or not to include pseudo columns as columns to the table.
string
""
This setting is particularly helpful in Entity Framework, which does not allow you to set a value for a pseudo column unless it is a table column. The value of this connection setting is of the format "Table1=Column1, Table1=Column2, Table2=Column3". You can use the "*" character to include all tables and all columns; for example, "*=*".
The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation.
int
60
If Timeout = 0, operations do not time out. The operations run until they complete successfully or until they encounter an error condition.
If Timeout expires and the operation is not yet complete, the connector throws an exception.
