EbayParty

You are cordially invited to Ebay Party, the biggest ruby ebay api interface with a whopping, stonking, ahum....single method!

Thats right this gem will allow you to do one thing and one thing only: get categories from ebay.

While this may appear pathetic, to me it is monumental as it is my first gem!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ebay_party'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ebay_party

Usage

Define your ENV variables for the ebay api (you can get these from ebay developer site), e.g. in bash shell add these to your bashrc:

export ebay_party_dev_id=""
export ebay_party_app_id=""  
export ebay_party_cert_id=""
export ebay_party_uri=""
export ebay_party_auth_token=""

Then take your time learning ebay party's single method:

EbayParty::EbayApi.get_categories(site, level_limit)

'site' refers to ebay site id to fix the scope to your required country e.g. 3 for the UK. 'level_limit' refers to the depth of categories required e.g. 1 for top level categories only
