The eBay API
The last couple o weeks have been real busy, as usual, so my posts may be sporadic at times.
Besides my regular daytime job, I’ve been trying to wrap up a draft for scrolling flash widget.
Besides, who isn’t making scrolling flash widgets these days.
This widget uses a blend of scripting languages.
It uses JavaScript to interact with flash on the skins and colors, etc.
You can play around with the skins and colors here.
The flash object reads XML that is outputted from an url connection to a php file.
The php file is parsing, you guessed it, the coolest developer API around, eBay’s Web Services.
Right now, its not actually redirecting on the links, its just echoing the redirect URL.
Keep in mind, if your developing these widgets, etc. as an eBay
affiliate, if the widgets are hosted on an eBay page, like the view
item page (item description), any eBay web site page, it cannot contain your affiliate link.
