FYI if you're hoping to make a new Price Charting / GVN, chances are you'll be entirely unable to regardless of any effort put in on your part. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An API is basically a license to link to another service. Ebay has an API where you can pay a fee and make a web request to pull data from them. They'll spit out any sales data you request like total sales, average price, whatever you want. All of that is provided via API. This seems like it would be more suited to a web programming language like PHP or Python, not something as incredibly heavy as Java that's used more for client application development. Ebay should offer a PHP API you could learn more easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splain | 2,571 Editorials Team · Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Sorry @Code Monkey, it was a reference to a song called Code Monkey by Jonathan Coulton. Mildly funny song about being a code monkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe GoCollect have since ported over to PHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,103 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 It’s not just the Java either; getting the data is one piece, but you need to also store it, access it, and visualize it. Python is probably easier to learn but there are programming languages that are best served to specific needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californication | 1,477 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) I wonder if someone could do that for just limited print games. I mean with only hundreds of games as opposed to tens of thousands the data should be more manageable. And since lmited print games seem to be a continuing trend with a live aftermarket, you may be able to monetize the data.

JVOSS | 1,762 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 with the api i have it is limited qty but i don't know how to handle the newer web codeing. (was html about 30 years ago) never did much after that and now the new stuff like php, java, style sheets, and html5 have no clue how this all works now. it a how lot of code that i don't know how to use anymore so was hoping someone can guide me.

Daniel_Doyce | 475 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 If you have specific questions about programming concepts or Java syntax, then StackOverflow is a much better place to search and then ask if you don't find your question has already been answered (unlikely for Java). I bet a lot of the code around pulling data from Ebay is already well documented elsewhere. It's not clear what sort of program you're trying to write and it sounds like you have almost no Java or Javascript knowledge so I can see why people are hesitant to "help" (i.e. write your program for you) Good luck!
