Connect to eBay's API

[Emory_Stainbrook]

While we don’t have an eBay integration, you can pull your eBay information in via our API steps in Parabola.

Make sure you follow eBay’s instructions on setting up your Developer Account to create the credentials you’ll need to connect.

You’ll need to connect using our OAuth 2.0 Authentication Type.

1. Authorization (eBay documentation)

• Enter the following Authorization Request URL: https://auth.ebay.com/oauth2/authorize
• Swap out your Client ID for the eBay provided Client ID
• Use the RuName provided by eBay for the redirect_uri. You can see how to find this information here.
• For the response_type parameter, enter the value code
• Find the list of scopes here and enter them as needed for the scope parameter

2. Access Token (eBay documentation)

• Enter the base URL: https://api.ebay.com/identity/v1/ouath2/token
• For grant_type enter authorization_code
• For redirect_uri enter that same RuName from the Authorization section
• Leave the code parameter blank
• Click Advanced Options to display the Customer Headers section
• For the Authorization header, enter the word Basic. Then Base 64 encode the following and add it after the word Basic: Your Client ID:Your Client Secret
• For the Content-Type header, enter application/x-www-form-urlencoded

3. Refresh Token (eBay documentation)

• Enter the base URL: https://api.ebay.com/identity/v1/ouath2/token
• For grant_type enter refresh_token
• Leave refresh_token blank
• Enter your scope information from the Authorization step
• Click Advanced Options to display the Customer Headers section
• Enter the same information for the Authorization header, from the Access section
• For the Content-Type header, enter application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Once you’ve set the above up, click Authorize to finish authorizing the step.
