Our focus is on enabling a shopping experience that is simple and data-driven, allowing buyers to find, compare and purchase items they need and want. The requirements for high-volume and low-latency buying radically influenced our API capabilities. Four Buy APIs contributed most to the overall GMB milestone. The Browse API gives partners access to eBay's powerful in-house search capabilities. The API also supports creating a search refinement experience by further filtering responses by key aspects (e. g., brand, color, size). The Feed API allows authorized developers to curate, mirror and surface eBay inventory at scale. The Order API enables secure checkout for guests and members from anywhere online, without visiting eBay sites or using eBay's native apps. Also, it provides updates on order status, shipment tracking details and expected delivery dates. The Offer API allows buyers to place proxy bids and retrieve bidding details. In addition to the above four APIs, partners leverage other APIs in our portfolio to integrate with various parts of their business — like the Deal API to retrieve deals and sales events, and the capabilities from our Commerce family of APIs.
